Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I was the cup-bearer of some people in the house of Abu Talha on the day when liquor was forbidden. Their liquor had been prepared from dry dates or fresh dates when the announcer made the announcement. He (Abu Talha) said to me: Go out and find out (what the announcement is). I got out (and found) an announcer making this announcement: Behold, liquor has been declared unlawful. He said: The liquor (was spilt and) flawed in the lanes of Madinah. Abu Talha said to me: Go out and spill it, and I spilt it. They said or some of them said: Such and such were killed, such and such were killed for (the wine) had been in their stomachs. He (the narrator) said. I do not know whether it is the narration transmitted by Anas, (or by someone else). Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed: "There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who have believed and done good works for what they may have eaten as long as they fear (Allah) and believe and do good works" (v. 93).

'Abdul Aziz bin Suhaib (RA) reported: They (some persons) asked Anas bin Malik (RA), about Fadikh (that is, a wine prepared from fresh dates), whereupon he said: There was no liquor with us except this Fadikih of yours. It was only this Fadikh that I had been serving to Abu Talha and Abu Ayyub and some persons from amongst the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in our house. When a person came and said: Has the news reached you? We said, No. He said: Verily liquor has been declared forbidden. Thereupon, Abd Talha said: Anas, spill these large pitchers. He (the narrator) said: They then never reverted to it, nor even asked about this after the announcement by that person.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I was standing amongst the uncles of my tribe serving them Fadikh while I was the youngest of them, when a person came and said: Verily the use of liqour has been prohibited. They said: Anas, spill it away. So I spilt it. He (one of the narrators Sulaiman Taimi) said that he asked Anas what that was (the Fadikh). He said: It had been prepared from unripe and ripe dates. Abu Bakr (RA) bin Anas said: It was their liquor in those days. Sulaiman said: A person narrated it to me from Anas bin Malik (RA) that he had said so.

Anas reported: I was standing amongst the members of my (tribe) and serving them liquor. The rest of the hadith is the same, but with this variation that Abu Bakr (RA) bin Anas said: It was their liquor in those days (prepared from dates), and Anas was present there and he did not deny this (fact).

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported I was serving wine to Abu Talha and Abu Dujana and Mu'adh bin jabal admidst a group of Ansar when a visitor came to us and said: There is fresh news; the (verses) concerning the prohibition of liquor have been revealed. So we spilt it on that day; and it was a mixture of dry dates and fresh dates. Anas bin Malik (RA) said: While Khamr was declared unlawful, the common liquor of theirs was then a mixture of dry dates and fresh dates.

Anas bin Malik (RA) said: I was serving wine to Abu Talha, Abu Dujana, and Suhail bin Baida' from a waterskin which contained the mixture of unripe dates and fresh dates. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I was serving drink to Abu 'Ubaida bin jarrah, Abu Talha and Ubayy bin Ka'b prepared from unripe dates and fresh dates when a visitor came and he said: Verily liquor has been prohibited. Thereupon, Abu Talha said: Anas, stand up and break this pitcher. I stood up and (took hold) of a pointed stone and struck the pitcher with its lower part until it broke into pieces.
