حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوَدَ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يُنْبَذُ لَهُ زَبِيبٌ فَيُلْقِي فِيهِ تَمْرًا ، وَتَمْرٌ فَيُلْقِي فِيهِ الزَّبِيبَ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Raisins were steeped for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then dried dates were infused in them, or dried dates were steeped and then raisins were infused in them.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
➊ If dates or raisins are thoroughly rubbed by hand and then put into water, the nabidh (date or raisin-infused drink) is prepared quickly, and the possibility of intoxication arising in it also occurs sooner.
➋ If dates and raisins are simply placed in water without rubbing, then intoxication does not develop quickly.
➌ There is also a difference between the seasons of heat and cold: in summer, fermentation and intensity develop quickly, while in winter, it is delayed.
➍ Therefore, the narration of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu would pertain to the winter season, and the hadith of Aisha radi Allahu anha would be regarding the summer season.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: ➊
The point is that nabidh was not left in its container for a long time, lest intoxication should develop in it.

Benefits and Issues:
By soaking from morning till evening or from evening till morning, the sweetness is thoroughly infused into the water, but intoxication does not occur; therefore, this drink is undoubtedly permissible.
