Beautiful Hadith on Obedience of the Sahaaba

It is related from Anas, "While I was serving wine to the people in the house of Abu Talha - and at that time their wine was made from dates,
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded that a caller announce, 'Wine has been made unlawful!'"
Anas said, "Abu Talha said to me, 'Go out and spill it.' So I went out and spilled it and it flowed in the streets of Madina.
Some people said, 'People were killed while there was wine in their stomachs.' So Allah revealed,
'Those who believe and do right actions are not to blame for what they have consumed (in the past).' (5:93)"

[Bukhari]
