Ata bin Abi Rabah says that in Makkah Mukarramah, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty and His Messenger have declared the trade of alcohol, carrion, swine, and idols to be forbidden. At that time, someone said: O Messenger of Allah! Consider the ruling regarding the fat of carrion, because it is used to caulk ships and soften hides, and people also use it to light lamps. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, its trade is forbidden. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah destroy the Jews; when Allah Almighty forbade them the fat, they melted it and sold it and consumed its price.

Abdul Wahid Banani says: I was present with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), when a man came to him and said: O Abu Abdur Rahman! I buy orchards, and some of them have grapes on them. Since it is not possible to sell all of them as grapes, can we extract their juice? Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Are you asking me about the price of wine? Now I will narrate to you a hadith: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when suddenly he raised his head towards the sky, then lowered it towards the earth, scratched the ground, and then said: Destruction is for the Children of Israel. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Your statement regarding the Children of Israel has made us anxious. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There should be no concern for you in this. When fat was made unlawful for them, they resorted to trickery, melted it (the fat), sold it, and consumed its price. In exactly the same way, the price of wine is unlawful for you.

Nafi’ bin Kaysan says: My father told me that he used to trade in wine during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). In this regard, he brought wineskins from Syria, but when he said,“O Messenger of Allah! I have brought very fine wine to you,”the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O Kaysan! Wine has been made unlawful after your departure.”He said:“O Messenger of Allah! Can I sell it then?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“It itself has been made unlawful, and its selling has also been made unlawful.”So Kaysan went to those wineskins, grabbed them by their corners, and poured them out.

Abdur Rahman bin Wa’lah says: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the buying and selling of wine. He said: A man from the tribe of Thaqif or Daws was a friend of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He brought a jug of wine to Makkah in the year of the conquest of Makkah to present it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu So-and-so! Do you not know that Allah Almighty has forbidden it? That man ordered his slave, saying: Take it and sell it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Abu So-and-so! What did you order your slave to do? He said: I ordered him to sell it. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The One who has forbidden its drinking has also forbidden its selling. Upon hearing this, the man ordered regarding that wine, so it was poured out in the valley of Batha.
