ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الْخَمْرِ كَمَا حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا

[Machine] “A man went out and alcohol (khamr) was permissible. So, he gifted the Messenger of Allahﷺ a container of alcohol. He carried it on a camel until he found the Messenger of Allahﷺ sitting. The man said, 'What is this with you?' The man replied, 'It is a container of alcohol that I have gifted to you.' The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, 'Do you know that Allah, the Most High, has prohibited it?' He replied, 'No.' The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, 'Verily, Allah has forbidden it.' The man turned to the leader of the camel, whispered something to him, and the man got up. The Messenger of Allahﷺ asked, 'What did you say to him?' He replied, 'I commanded him to sell it.' The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, 'Whoever has forbidden its consumption has also forbidden its sale.' The man instructed for the container to be broken open and emptied in the sand. So, I looked towards it in the open space and found nothing in it."  

ابن حبّان:٤٩٤٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ ابْنِ وَعْلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ وَالْخَمْرُ حَلَالٌ فَأَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَاوِيَةَ خَمْرٍ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهَا عَلَى بَعِيرٍ حَتَّى وَجَدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا مَعَكَ؟ » قَالَ رَاوِيَةٌ مِنْ خَمْرٍ أَهْدَيْتُهَا لَكَ قَالَ «هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَهَا» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَهَا» فَالْتَفَتَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى قَائِدِ الْبَعِيرِ فَكَلَّمَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَاذَا قُلْتَ لَهُ» قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُ بِبَيْعِهَا قَالَ «إِنَّ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَهَا» قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِعَزَالِي الْمَزَادَةِ فَفُتِحَتْ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهَا فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ مَا فِيهَا شَيْءٌ

[Machine] A man went out and alcoholic drinks were considered permissible. So he presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a container of wine. The man started leading it on a camel until he found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting. He asked, "What is this with you?" He replied, "A container of wine that I gifted to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did you know that Allah the Almighty has declared it prohibited?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has prohibited it." The man then turned to the person who was leading the camel and spoke to him privately. The person asked, "What did you say to him?" He replied, "I ordered him to sell it." The person said, "The one who has prohibited its consumption, has also prohibited its sale." The man then ordered for the container to be smashed and it was thrown in the dust. I looked at it in the sandy ground, and there was nothing in it.
