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.
