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 ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْخَمْرَ قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ ! قَالَ ﷺ: أَجَلْ. قَالَ: أَلَا أَرُدُّهَا عَلَى مَنِ ابْتَعْتُهَا مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا يَصْلُحُ رَدُّهَا. قَالَ: أَلَا أُهْدِيهَا لِمَنْ يُكَافِئُ عَلَيْهَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا. قَالَ: فِيهَا مَالٌ لِيَتَامَى فِي حَجْرِي ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: إِذَا أَتَانَا مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ نُعَوِّضُ أَيْتَامَكَ مِنْ مَالِهِمْ. ثُمَّ نَادَى: يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ ! قَالَ: فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْأَوْعِيَةُ نَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا ! قَالَ ﷺ: فَحَلُّوا أَوْكِيَتَهَا. فَانْصَبَّتْ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّتْ فِي بَطْنِ الْوَادِي

✧ “There was a man who transported wine from Khaybar and sold it to the Muslims. He brought some with the money and arrived with it in Madinah, where a Muslim met him and said: ‘O so-and-so, wine has been forbidden.’ So he put it down where he reached, on a hill, and covered it with cloths. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have heard that wine has been forbidden.’ He ﷺ said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Should I return it to the one I bought it from?’ He ﷺ said: ‘It is not proper to return it.’ He said: ‘Should I give it as a gift to someone who may repay me for it?’ He ﷺ said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘There is wealth in it belonging to orphans under my care.’ He ﷺ said: ‘When the wealth of Bahrain comes to us, we will compensate your orphans from their wealth.’ Then he called out: ‘O people of Madinah!’ The man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about the containers, we can make use of them.’ He ﷺ said: ‘Then untie their stoppers.’ So they poured out until it settled in the belly of the valley.”
