Algebra, chapter V, § 1. Prime fields. Characteristic

Let AA be a ring not reduced to 0, whose additive group is a torsion-free Z\mathbf{Z}-module, and put B=Q⊗ZAB = \mathbf{Q} \otimes_{\mathbf{Z}} A. The mapping x↦1⊗xx \mapsto 1 \otimes x of AA into BB is injective (II, p. 314), hence AA is isomorphic to a subring of a ring of characteristic 0.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
