حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَعْلَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَدِيقٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ أَوْ مِنْ دَوْسٍ فَلَقِيَهُ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِرَاوِيَةِ خَمْرٍ يُهْدِيهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا فُلَانٍ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهَا فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى غُلَامِهِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَبِعْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا فُلَانٍ بِمَاذَا أَمَرْتَهُ قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا قَالَ إِنَّ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُفْرِغَتْ فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2041
It was narrated that 'Abdul Rahman bin Wa'lah said: I asked Ibn 'Abbas about selling wine and he said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had a friend from Thaqeef, or from Daws. He met him in Makkah during the year of the conquest, and brought a skin of wine to give him as a gift. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "O Father of So and so, don't you know that Allah has forbidden it?" The man turned to his slave and said: Go and sell it. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "O Father of So and so, what did you tell him to do?" He said: I told him to sell it. He said: "The One Who forbade drinking it also forbade selling it." So he instructed that it be poured away in al-Batha'.
