Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Nabidh of the Water Container and the Prophet (peace be upon him) Drinking from It and Approving It
Hadith 7489
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَدِيفُهُ أُسَامَةُ فَسَقَيْنَاهُ مِنْ هَذَا النَّبِيذِ يَعْنِي نَبِيذَ السِّقَايَةِ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتُمْ هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding behind him. We served him nabidh prepared in a waterskin, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it and said: "It is very good; prepare nabidh in this manner."
Hadith 7490
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُنْتَبَذُ لَهُ فِي سِقَاءٍ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ سِقَاءٌ نُبِذَ لَهُ فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ بِرَامٍ قَالَ وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْجَرِّ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Nabidh used to be prepared for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a waterskin; when a waterskin was not available, Nabidh would be prepared in a stone vessel. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade preparing Nabidh in vessels made from gourds, in hollowed-out trunks, in earthen pots, and in tar-coated vessels.
Hadith 7491
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَزِيدُ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَادَى ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَالنَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ أَسُنَّةً تَبْتَغُونَ بِهَذَا النَّبِيذِ أَمْ هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَالْعَسَلِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبَّاسًا فَقَالَ اسْقُونَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا النَّبِيذَ شَرَابٌ قَدْ مُغِثَ وَمُرِثَ أَفَلَا نَسْقِيكَ لَبَنًا أَوْ عَسَلًا قَالَ اسْقُونَا مِمَّا تَسْقُونَ مِنْهُ النَّاسَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ بِسِقَاءَيْنِ فِيهِمَا النَّبِيذُ فَلَمَّا شَرِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَجِلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْوَى فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتُمْ هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَرِضَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَسِيلَ شِعَابُهَا لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا
Husayn bin Abdullah and Dawud bin Ali bin Abdullah bin Abbas both narrate with some variation that a man called out to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) while people were sitting around him. He said: Do you use nabidh out of desire to act upon the Sunnah, or do you find it easier to use than milk and honey? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the house of Sayyiduna Abbas and said: Give me something to drink. They said: Nabidh has been prepared, but it has been mixed with fingers and is somewhat dirty; shall we not give you milk or honey instead? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give me to drink what you are giving to the people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and with him were some of the Muhajirun and Ansar. Two water skins of nabidh were brought. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head quickly while drinking and said: You have done well; prepare it like this. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The expression of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) approval in this matter is more beloved to me than if these valleys were to flow with milk and honey.
