17. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Ya’qub b. Yazid from Abi Muhammad al-Ansari from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdillah  who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq  regarding alcohol (Khunsa). Imam  replied, “Khunsa is prohibited and one who drinks it, is like one who drinks wine.”
