Abdur Rahman bin Wa'lah said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the buying and selling of wine, so 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 met you (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah in the year of the conquest of Makkah and presented a wineskin as a gift. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O brother! Do you not know that Allah Almighty has made this unlawful?" The narrator said: That man turned to his servant and said to him: Take it and sell it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What did you order him to do?" He replied: I told the servant to sell this wine. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The One who made drinking wine unlawful has also made selling it unlawful." So that man ordered, and the wine was poured out onto the ground.
