Hadith 3711

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الثَّقَفِيِّ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيدٍ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سِقَاءٍ يُوكَأُ أَعْلَاهُ ، وَلَهُ عَزْلَاءُ يُنْبَذُ غُدْوَةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ عِشَاءً ، وَيُنْبَذُ عِشَاءً فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً ".
Aishah said: Dates were steeped for the Apostel of Allah ﷺ in skin which was tied up at the top and had a mouth. What was steeped in the morning he would drink in the evening and what was steeped in the evening he would drink in the morning.

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.
