8. And from the previous chain from al-Hassan b. Ali from Uthman b. Isa from Ibn Muskan from the one who narrated it from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“Surely the Almighty Allah has created locks for polytheism and the key to those locks is wine. There is more evil in lying than in alcohol.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْکَانَ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: [
إِنَ] اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ لِلشَّرِّ أَقْفَالًا وَ جَعَلَ مَفَاتِیحَ تِلْکَ الْأَقْفَالِ الشَّرَابَ وَ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ الْکَذِبُ.
