Sahih Muslim 1980c (Book 36, Hadith 7) #12237
Prohibition of Liquor in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Anas b. Malik who was serving Fadikh, a type of liquor made from unripe and ripe dates, to his uncles when someone came and informed them that the use of liquor has been prohibited.

Anas b. Malik 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 liquor has been prohibited. They said: Anas, spill it away. So I split 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 b. Anas said: It was their liquor in those days. Sulaiman said: A person narrated it to me from Anas b. Malik that he had said so.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ إِنِّي لَقَائِمٌ عَلَى الْحَىِّ عَلَى عُمُومَتِي أَسْقِيهِمْ مِنْ فَضِيخٍ لَهُمْ وَأَنَا أَصْغَرُهُمْ سِنًّا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْخَمْرُ فَقَالُوا اكْفَأْهَا يَا أَنَسُ ‏.‏ فَكَفَأْتُهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ مَا هُوَ قَالَ بُسْرٌ وَرُطَبٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَنَسٍ كَانَتْ خَمْرَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of consuming alcoholic beverages in Islam. It narrates the story of Anas b. Malik who was serving Fadikh, a type of liquor made from unripe and ripe dates, to his uncles when someone came and informed them that the use of liquor has been prohibited. Upon hearing this news, they asked him to spill it away which he did accordingly. This hadith serves as an example for us on how we should act upon hearing news regarding prohibitions in Islam; we should immediately stop whatever activity we are doing that goes against it without any hesitation or delay. It also teaches us that even though something may be permissible at one point in time, it can become prohibited later on due to changes in Islamic law or rulings by religious scholars; thus we must always stay up-to-date with our knowledge regarding Islamic laws so as not to fall into sin unknowingly or unintentionally.
