Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was serving Fadheekh (a type of wine) to my uncles because I was the youngest among them in age. During this, a person came and said: Wine has been declared unlawful. So they said: O Anas! Throw it away. So I threw it away. The narrator named Sulaiman says: I inquired, what was that wine made from? Sayyiduna Anas replied: From dried and fresh dates.
The narrator states: Abu Bakr bin Anas narrated that at that time, wine was made from this very thing.
