قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : " إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَزَادَةً مِنْ خَمْرٍ ، فَأَمَرَ بِبَيْعِهَا ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا حَرَّمَ بَيْعَهَا ، فَأَمَرَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوِكَائِهَا فَفُتِحَ .
Sayyiduna Ja'far bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Muhammad al-Baqir (may Allah have mercy on him)) that a man presented a skin of wine as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) (apparently) ordered it to be sold, but when the man began to leave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) called out and said: "Indeed, the One (Allah) who has made drinking it unlawful has also made selling it (buying and selling it) unlawful." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that its tie be undone, so it was opened (and poured out).
According to the commentators of hadith, this establishes the legal principle that the trade in a thing that is unlawful in itself, and the income gained from it, are also unlawful, and that after the prohibition of wine, any kind of dealing in it is impermissible.

وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ الْقُمِّيُّ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ جَارِيَةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُ الْخَمْرَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ ، فَيَبِيعُهَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ . فَحَمَلَ مِنْهَا بِمَالٍ فَقَدِمَ بِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا فُلَانُ ، إِنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ . فَوَضَعَهَا حَيْثُ انْتَهَى عَلَى تَلٍّ ، وَسَجَّى عَلَيْهَا بِالْأَكْسِيَةِ .
ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ ! قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَجَلْ . قَالَ : أَلَا أَرُدُّهَا عَلَى مَنِ ابْتَعْتُهَا مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَصْلُحُ رَدُّهَا . قَالَ : أَلَا أُهْدِيهَا لِمَنْ يُكَافِئُ عَلَيْهَا ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا . قَالَ : فِيهَا مَالٌ لِيَتَامَى فِي حَجْرِي ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا أَتَانَا مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ نُعَوِّضُ أَيْتَامَكَ مِنْ مَالِهِمْ .
ثُمَّ نَادَى : يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ ! قَالَ : فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْأَوْعِيَةُ نَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا ! قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَحَلُّوا أَوْكِيَتَهَا . فَانْصَبَّتْ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّتْ فِي بَطْنِ الْوَادِي .

It is narrated from Isa bin Jariyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man used to bring wine from Khaybar and sell it to the Muslims. Once he arrived in Madinah with goods worth a great amount, and a Muslim man met him and told him: O so-and-so! Wine has now indeed been made unlawful. So he placed that wine right there, on a mound where he had arrived, and covered it with cloaks.
Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have learned that wine has been made unlawful? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He asked: Shall I not return it to those from whom I bought it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is no longer permissible to return it." He said again: Shall I give it as a gift to someone who will give me some wealth in return for it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." He said: The wealth of orphans who are under my care is invested in it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, consoling him: "When the wealth of Bahrain comes to us, we will give your orphans compensation for their wealth."
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called out: "O people of Madinah!" The man said: O Messenger of Allah! May we put these vessels to our own use? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then undo their ties." So that wine was poured out until it collected in the low-lying part of the valley.
