Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) addressing in Medina. He said: O people, Allaah is giving an indication (of the prohibition) of wine. and He is probably soon going to give an order about it. So he who has anything of it with him should sell that, and derive benefit out of it. He (the narrator) said: We waited for some time that Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Verily Allaah, the Exalted, has forbidden wine. So who hears this verse and he has anything of it with him, he should neither drink it nor sell it. He (the narrator) said: The people then brought whatever they had of it with them on the streets of Medina and spilt that.
