Hadith 13649

Anas said, "At the time that wine was made unlawful, there wasno drink that the people of Madina liked better than that made from drieddates and unripe dates. I used to give the drink to the Companions of theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. They werein the home of Abu Talha when a man passed by and announced, 'Wine hasbeen forbidden.' They did not say, 'When?' or 'Wait until we see.' Theysaid, 'Anas, break them!' Then they said in the presence of Umm Sulaym,'Wait until it becomes cool and we have washed ourselves.' Then Umm Sulaymput perfume on them. Then they went to the Prophet, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, and the news was as the man had said."
