Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 44, Hadith 216
It was narrated from Ibn Wa’lah Misri that he asked Ibn ‘Abbas about what is produced from grapes. Ibn’Abbas said: “A man gave the Messenger of Allah a skin full of wine, and the Prophet said to him;’ did you know that Allah has forbidden it?’ He whispered something and I did not understand what he whispered as I wanted to. I asked a person who was beside him and the Prophet said to him; ‘What are you whispering about?’ He said: ‘I told him to sell it.’ The Prophet said: ‘The One Who forbade drinking it also forbade selling it.’ Then he opened the vessels and poured out their contents.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَعْلَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَمَّا يُعْصَرُ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَهْدَى رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَاوِيَةَ خَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَهَا ” . فَسَارَّ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ مَا سَارَّ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ إِنْسَانًا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” بِمَ سَارَرْتَهُ ” . قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَهَا ” . فَفَتَحَ الْمَزَادَتَيْنِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مَا فِيهِمَا .
