Sayyiduna Abu Khayrah al-Sabbahi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was in the delegation that came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we were forty men. He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us (making nabidh in) gourd vessels, green-glazed jars, hollowed-out wooden vessels and pitch-coated vessels. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) had arak twigs brought for us and said: "Use this as a tooth-stick (miswak)." We said: O Messenger of Allah! We have (our own) herbs and we make do with them. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and said: "O Allah, forgive Abd al-Qays, for they accepted Islam willingly, not reluctantly."
