Buraiyon ki Maa | Mother of Evils
The act of the Most Blessed Rasūl صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, slitting the leather containers with his own blessed hands was to show the intense resentment that he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had for alcohol. Even upon the request of Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not assign that task to him.
Conduct of the Companions of the Prophet
Regarding the region the companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم belonged to, Sayyidunā Anas bin Mālik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has mentioned, ‘When alcohol was prohibited, there was nothing more lavish for the people of Arabia than alcoholism in those times, and there was no commandment so hard for them than this prohibition.’ (Ma’ālim-ut-Tanzīl-lil-Baghwī, Al-Baqaraĥ, Taḥt Al-Ayaĥ 219, vol. 1, pp. 140)

Sayyidunā Ḥāfiẓ Shaĥābuddīn Aḥmad bin ‘Alī bin Ḥajar ‘Asqalānī Shāfi’ī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی (died in 852 A.H.) has stated that Sayyidunā ‘Abdur Raḥmān bin ‘Awf رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ is amongst those who would consider alcohol Ḥarām even in the era of ignorance. (Al-Iṣābaĥ fī-Tamyīz-iṣ-Ṣaḥābaĥ, Ar-Raqm 5195, ‘Abdur Raḥmān bin ‘Awf, vol. 4, pp. 293)
It is narrated regarding Sayyidunā ‘Abbās bin Mardās رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was asked in era of ignorance, ‘Why don’t you drink alcohol whereas it increases the temperature of the body.’ He replied, ‘I do not hold my ignorance in my own hands to pour it in my stomach and also, being chief of my people, I
