Abd al-Wahid al-Bunani narrates: I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) when a man came to him and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! I have bought this orchard which has grapes in it. We cannot sell all of them as grapes; some have to be pressed." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You want to ask me about the price of wine? I will narrate to you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Once we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he raised his head towards the sky, then lowered it and began scratching the ground. Then he said: 'Woe to the Children of Israel!' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This saying of yours has alarmed us: Woe to the Children of Israel!' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'None of that ruin will come upon you. When fat was declared unlawful for those people, they would melt it, sell it and consume its price. In the same way, the price of wine is unlawful for you.'" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded a hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the prohibition of the price of wine, but that narration is different from this one.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for the narrator Abd al-Wahid, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy).
