Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَنْمٍ أَنَّ الدَّارِيَّ كَانَ يُهْدِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّ عَامٍ رَاوِيَةً مِنْ خَمْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامَ حُرِّمَتْ فَجَاءَ بِرَاوِيَةٍ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَحِكَ قَالَ هَلْ شَعَرْتَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا أَبِيعُهَا فَأَنْتَفِعَ بِثَمَنِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى مَا حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ شُحُومِ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ فَأَذَابُوهُ فَجَعَلُوهُ ثَمَنًا لَهُ فَبَاعُوا بِهِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ وَإِنَّ الْخَمْرَ حَرَامٌ وَثَمَنَهَا حَرَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرٌ عَنِ ابْنِ غَنْمٍ أَنَّ الدَّارِيَّ كَانَ يُهْدِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَأَذَابُوهُ وَجَعَلُوهُ إِهَالَةً فَبَاعُوا بِهِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ.
English Translation
Rawh told us, Abd al-Hamid ibn Bahram told us, he said: I heard Shahr ibn Hawshab say: Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanm told me, that al-Dari used to give a gift each year to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, of a skin-container of wine. In the year it was prohibited, he brought a container as usual. When the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, looked at it, he laughed and said, "Are you aware that it has been prohibited since you last brought it?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not sell it and benefit from its price?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "May Allah curse the Jews; they went to what was forbidden to them of the fat of cattle and sheep, melted it down, and made it into a price, so they sold with it what they otherwise ate. Indeed wine is forbidden and its price is forbidden; indeed wine is forbidden and its price is forbidden; indeed wine is forbidden and its price is forbidden." Hashim ibn al-Qasim told us, he said: Abd al-Hamid told us, he said: Shahr told us, from Ibn Ghanm, that al-Dari used to give a gift to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he mentioned the same meaning, except that he said, "They melted it down and made it into rendered fat, and sold with it what they ate."
