Praise be to Allah,
Yahyaa [ibn Sa’eed al-Qattaan] narrated to us from Humayd [at-Taweel] from Anas ibn Maalik said, “I was [once] serving wine to Abu (Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, Ubayy ibn Kab, Suhayl ibn Baydaa’ and a number of [the Prophet’s] companions in the house of Abu Talhah, for I was their cup-bearer. When alcohol started affecting them, a man from amongst the Muslims came and said, ‘Don’t you know that intoxicating drinks have been forbidden?’ They did not say, ‘Let’s find out why they have been forbidden .’ Rather, they said, ‘Pour away what is left in your jug, Anas.’ By Allah, they never drank alcohol again, and their intoxicating drinks at the time were only made of ripe and unripe dates.”
(Musnad Ah.mad, Vol. 3, p. 183. The isnaad of this hadeeth is Saheeh. according to the conditions set by al-Bukhaaree and Musl1m.)
