مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5390

'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went out to the drying floor (for dates) and i went out with him, walking on his right. Then Abu Bakr came so I dropped back and he walked on his right, and i walked on his left then 'Umar came, and i made room for him, and he walked an his (the Prophet's) left. Then the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came to the drying floor, where he saw some skins on the drying floor, in which there was wine. Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) asked me to bring him the knife, and he ordered that the skins be cut (and their contents spilled out).. Then he said: "Cursed is khamr, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who squeezes it (the grapes, etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, and the one who consumes its price."
