Umar used to keep alcohol in his water flask
We read in Ahl'ul Sunnah authority commentary of Sahih al Bukhari, Fathul Bari Volume 5 page 341 that:
"On one occasion Saeed bin Zai drank from Umar's water flask and he became intoxicated. Umar began to beat him and Saeed said to him 'My only wrongdoing was that I drank from your flask' (Upon hearing this) Umar replied 'I am beating you, as I want to know why you became intoxicated".
Umar’s love of ‘Nabidh’ alcohol
Nabidh is a drink that is prepared by fermenting crushed dates / grapes.
It was Hadhrath Umar’s favourite alcoholic drink.
We read in Muwatta of Imam Malik, Book 45, Number 45.6.21, Chapter Madina:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim that Aslam, the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab informed him that he had visited Abdullah ibn Ayyash al-Makhzumi. He saw that he had some nabidh with him and he was at that moment on the way to Makka. Aslam said to him, ”Umar ibn al-Khattab loves this drink.” Abdullah ibn Ayyash therefore carried a great drinking bowl and brought it to Umar ibn al-Khattab and placed it before him. Umar brought it near to him and then raised his head. Umar said, “This drink is good,” so he drank some of it and then passed it to a man on his right”.

When evidences from one's own Books; yet BLINDFOLDEDLY going after sinful and leaving Infallibles behind their backs; is that called intellect? Or simply our fore fathers came doing it, so let be continued? Or jealousy? or many other imaginable questions that arises? If it, is only this vision is sought then automatically people without discourses will reach The True Path of Islam very easily but sincerity and wear off self pride is condition.
