Abu Ishaq, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, narrates: One day those people discussed the vessels in which nabidh is prepared, and they disagreed about the vessel made from gourd. Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by them, and they sent a message to Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) asking: "O Abu Ayyub! May nabidh be prepared in a gourd?" Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding every tarred (muzaffat) vessel in which nabidh is prepared." So he rejected (its permissibility) regarding the gourd. Abu Dawud reported a reply similar to his first statement.
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it. Abu Ishaq, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, is mastur (of unestablished status). The chain of this report contains a narrator, Rishdin bin Sa'd, in whom there is weakness, though he has been declared trustworthy.
