Sahih al-Bukhari 4620 (Book 65, Hadith 142) #4403
The Prohibition of Alcoholic Drinks

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prohibition of alcoholic drinks and how it was announced in Medina. It also mentions that Allah revealed a verse in the Quran to explain that those who believe and do good deeds are not to be blamed for what they ate in the past.

Narrated Anas: The alcoholic drink which was spilled was Al-Fadikh. I used to offer alcoholic drinks to the people at the residence of Abu Talha. Then the order of prohibiting Alcoholic drinks was revealed, and the Prophet ordered somebody to announce that: Abu Talha said to me, "Go out and see what this voice (this announcement ) is". I went out and (on coming back) said, "This is somebody announcing that alcoholic beverages have been prohibited". Abu Talha said to me, "Go and spill it (ie the wine)," Then it (alcoholic drinks) was seen flowing through the streets of Medina. At that time the wine was Al-Fadikh. The people said, "Some people (Muslims) were killed (during the battle of Uhud) while wine was in their stomachs". So Allah revealed: "On those who believe and do good deeds there is no blame for what they ate (in the past)". (5:93)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ، الَّتِي أُهْرِيقَتِ الْفَضِيخُ‏.‏ وَزَادَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَبِي النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ كُنْتُ سَاقِيَ الْقَوْمِ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَنَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ، فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ اخْرُجْ فَانْظُرْ مَا هَذَا الصَّوْتُ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا مُنَادٍ يُنَادِي أَلاَ إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لِي اذْهَبْ فَأَهْرِقْهَا‏.‏ قَالَ فَجَرَتْ فِي سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ خَمْرُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْفَضِيخَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ قُتِلَ قَوْمٌ وَهْىَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of alcoholic drinks, which was announced by someone in Medina. Abu Talha asked Anas to go out and see what this announcement was, and when he came back he said that it was about prohibiting alcoholic drinks. Abu Talha then asked him to spill all the alcohol they had, which caused it to flow through the streets of Medina. After this incident, Allah revealed a verse from the Quran explaining that those who believe and do good deeds are not to be blamed for what they ate or drank in their past before this prohibition was made known. This hadith teaches us that we should obey Allah's commands even if we have done something wrong before knowing them as He will forgive us if we repent sincerely and strive towards doing good deeds afterwards.
