Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade soaking nabidh (date drink) in containers other than water skins, the people said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that water skins are not available to everyone (what should they do?). So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) permitted soaking nabidh in all containers except those coated with pitch.
