He said, 'I seek refuge in Allah from that deed!'
Then it was said to him, 'Why did not you do that?'
He said, 'I keep my honor, I take care of my personality, because the person who drinks is the one who wastes his honor and personality.' "
Ar-Rayahi said: The words were heard by the Messenger of Allah and he said, "It is true what is said by Abu Bakr, true what is said by Abu Bakr."
