Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I was serving drink to Abu Ubaida bin jarrah, Abu Talha and Ubayy bin Kab prepared from unripe dates and fresh dates when a visitor came and he said: Verily liquor has been prohibited. Thereupon, Abu Talha said: Anas, stand up and break this pitcher. I stood up and (took hold) of a pointed stone and struck the pitcher with its lower part until it broke into pieces.
