Sunan an-Nasai 4664 (Book 44, Hadith 216) #19197
Prohibition of Selling Wine

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade the selling of wine, which Allah had already forbidden to drink.

It was narrated from Ibn Wa'lah Misri that he asked Ibn 'Abbas about what is produced from grapes. Ibn'Abbas said: "A man gave the Messenger of Allah a skin full of wine, and the Prophet said to him;' did you know that Allah has forbidden it?' He whispered something and I did not understand what he whispered as I wanted to. I asked a person who was beside him and the Prophet said to him; 'What are you whispering about?' He said: 'I told him to sell it'. The Prophet said: 'The One Who forbade drinking it also forbade selling it'. Then he opened the vessels and poured out their contents.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَعْلَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَمَّا يُعْصَرُ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَهْدَى رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَاوِيَةَ خَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَارَّ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ مَا سَارَّ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ إِنْسَانًا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ بِمَ سَارَرْتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَفَتَحَ الْمَزَادَتَيْنِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مَا فِيهِمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of selling wine, which Allah has already forbidden to drink. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was given a skin full of wine by a man and he asked him if he knew that it was forbidden by Allah. When the man said yes, the Prophet opened up all the vessels and poured out their contents. This hadith teaches us that not only is drinking alcohol prohibited in Islam but also selling it is prohibited as well. It also shows us how important it is to obey what Allah has commanded us to do and not do, even if we don't understand why something may be prohibited at first glance. We should always strive to follow His commands without question or hesitation because He knows best what is good for us in this life and in the hereafter.
