حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : مَا بَالُ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ يَسْقُونَ النَّبِيذَ وَبَنُو عَمِّهِمْ يَسْقُونَ اللَّبَنَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَالسَّوِيقَ ، أَبُخْلٌ بِهِمْ أَمْ حَاجَةٌ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : مَا بِنَا مِنْ بُخْلٍ وَلَا بِنَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ ، وَلَكِنْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَخَلْفَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَرَابٍ ، فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَدَفَعَ فَضْلَهُ إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ " ، كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلُوا ، فَنَحْنُ هَكَذَا لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُغَيِّرَ مَا قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Bakr bin Abdullah said “A man said to Ibn Abbas “What about the people of this House? They supply Nabidh to the public while their cousins provide milk, honey and mush (sawiq). Is this due to their niggardliness or need? Ibn Abbas replied “This is due neither to our niggardliness nor to our need, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (once) entered upon us on his riding beast and ‘Usamah bin Zaid was sitting behind him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for drink. Nabidh was brought to him and he drank from it and gave its left over to Usamah bin Zaid who drank from it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said “You have done a good and handsome deed and do it in a similar way. It is due to this we are doing so, we do not want to change what the Messenger of Allah ﷺhad said.

Benefits and Issues:
This is precisely what religion and faith demand.
And this is what is required from a believer:
That the command of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) be given precedence over the statements, actions, and opinions of anyone else.
Just as the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) used to do.
