It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day when alcohol was made unlawful, I went to the house of Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him); he was serving it to people. When its prohibition became known, he ordered me to pour out all the alcohol from your vessels. By Allah! Other people also poured out the alcohol from their vessels, until the smell of alcohol began to come from the streets of Madinah, and at that time their alcohol was only nabidh made by mixing fresh and dried dates. Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a man came to the court of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I had the wealth of an orphan with me, and I bought alcohol with it. Do you permit me to sell it and return the money to the orphan? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah curse the Jews, for fat was made unlawful for them, so they sold it and consumed its price, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit the selling of alcohol.
