Al-Ash'ath bin Umayr al-Abdi narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), that the delegation of the tribe of Abd al-Qays came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When they intended to return, they said (among themselves), "You have memorised everything you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); now ask him about nabidh (a date drink) as well." So they came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We live in a land whose climate does not suit us, and nothing keeps us well there except this drink." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What is your drink?" They said, "Nabidh." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "In what vessel do you drink it?" They said, "In the naqir (a vessel made by hollowing out wood)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not drink from the naqir."
They went out from there and said (in distress), "By Allah, our people will not agree with us on this restriction." So they returned and asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) the same question, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same answer again. They came back once more, and he said, "Do not drink from the naqir, (for intoxication develops quickly in it, which leads to fighting among you, and) one of you strikes his cousin such a blow that he is left lame until the Day of Resurrection."
The narrator said: Hearing this, the members of the delegation laughed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are you laughing at?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah! By the One who sent you with the truth, we once drank from this very naqir of ours, and one of us attacked another, and this (companion) was struck such a blow that he truly became lame until the Day of Resurrection (meaning: the outcome you warned of has already befallen us)."
Imam Abu Ya'la also recorded this narration from Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah with the same wording.
