It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to present a large waterskin of wine to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) every year as a gift. When Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine, he came with it (as usual). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "It has been made unlawful in your absence!" He said: O Messenger of Allah! Then shall I sell it and benefit from its price? At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty curse the Jews; the fat of cattle and sheep was made unlawful for them, so they melted it down and sold it (and consumed its price). Indeed, Allah Almighty has made wine unlawful, and receiving its price as well."
This hadith is of hasan (good) grade.
