Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha that Anas ibn Malik said, "I was serving wine to Abu Ubayda ibn
al-Jarrah and Abu Talha al-Ansari and Umayy ibn Kab. The wine had been
prepared from crushed ripe dates and dried dates. Someone came to them
and said, 'Wine has been made haram.' Abu Talha ordered me to go and
take the jugs and break them. I stood up and went to a mortar of ours
and I struck them with the bottom of it until they broke."
Muwatta Malik Book 42, Hadith 18

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Ibn Wala
al-Misri asked Abdullah ibn Abbas about what is squeezed from the
grapes. Ibn Abbas replied, "A man gave the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, a small water-skin of wine. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to
him, 'Don't you know that Allah has made it haram?' He said, 'No.'
Then a man at his side whispered to him. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked what he had whispered, and
the man replied, 'I told him to sell it.' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The One who made drinking
it haram has made selling it haram.' The man then opened the water-
skins and poured out what was in them ."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that
Waqid ibn Amr ibn Sad ibn Muadh informed him from Mahmud ibn Labid al-
Ansari that when Umar ibn al-Khattab went to ash-Sham, the people of
ash-Sham complained to him about the bad air of their land and its
heaviness. They said, "Only this drink helps." Umar said, "Drink this
honey preparation." They said, "Honey does not help us." A man from
the people of that land said, "Can we give you something of this drink
which does not intoxicate?" He said, "Yes." They cooked it until two-
thirds of it evaporated and one-third of it remained. Then they
brought it to Umar. Umar put his finger in it and then lifted his head
and extended it. He said, "This is fruit juice concentrated by
boiling. This is like the distillation with which you smear the
camel's scabs." Umar ordered them to drink it. Ubada ibn as-Samit said
to him, "You have made it halal, by Allah!" Umar said, "No, by Allah!
O Allah! I will not make anything halal for them which You have made
haram for them! I will not make anything haram for them which You have
made halal for them."
