Types of Intoxication

The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'O Ibn Masaud, be wary of the intoxication brought about by sin, for verily the sin intoxicates just as much as alcohol if not more. Allah, most High, says, "Deaf, dumb and blind, they do not apply reason"

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'There are four types of intoxication: the intoxication induced by drink, the intoxication induced by wealth, the intoxication of sleep, and the intoxication induced by power.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The man of reason must be on his guard against the intoxication of wealth, of power, of knowledge, of praise and of youth, for all of these have offensive vapours about them that strip away one's reason and carry away one's dignity.

Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The intoxication of heedlessness and arrogance take longer to regain consciousness from than the intoxication of wines.
