(Book 42, Hadith 13) #36630
Reacting to the Prohibition of Wine

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Anas ibn Malik's experience of serving wine to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, Abu Talha al-Ansari and Ubayy ibn Kab, and how they reacted when they heard that wine was made haram.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Anas ibn Malik said, "I was serving wine to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah and Abu Talha al-Ansari and Ubayy ibn Kab. The wine had been prepared from crushed ripe dates and dried dates. Someone came to them and said, 'Wine has been made haram'. Abu Talha ordered me to go and take the jugs and break them. I stood up and went to a mortar of ours and I struck them with the bottom of it until they broke".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْقِي أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَأَبَا طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَأُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ شَرَابًا مِنْ فَضِيخٍ وَتَمْرٍ - قَالَ - فَجَاءَهُمْ آتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا أَنَسُ قُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْجِرَارِ فَاكْسِرْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى مِهْرَاسٍ لَنَا فَضَرَبْتُهَا بِأَسْفَلِهِ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the reaction of three companions - Abu Ubayda Ibn Al-Jarrah, Abu Talha Al-Ansari and Ubayy Ibn Kab - when they heard that wine was made haram. Anas Ibn Malik was serving them wine which was prepared from crushed ripe dates and dried dates when someone came in with the news. Upon hearing this, Abu Talha ordered Anas to take the jugs and break them using a mortar. Anas followed his orders without hesitation or argumentation showing his obedience towards Allah's commandment even though it meant destroying something he had prepared himself. This hadith teaches us that we should be obedient towards Allah's commands no matter what it may cost us as He knows best what is good for us in this life and in the hereafter. It also teaches us not to waste anything as even though these jugs were going to be destroyed anyway, Anas still used a mortar instead of just throwing them away so nothing would go wasted.
