Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ash'ath bin Umair Abdi narrates from his father. He says that a delegation of Abdul Qais came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When they intended to return, they said among themselves, "You have preserved all the things you heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So now, ask him about nabidh (a type of drink)." Thus, they went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We are in a land that is unsuitable, and only a particular drink suits us." The narrator says, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What is your drink?" They said, "Nabidh." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "In what (vessel) do you drink it?" They said, "In naqir." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not drink nabidh in naqir." The narrator says, so they went out and said to each other, "By Allah! Our people will not reconcile with us on this matter." So they returned and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) this question again. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave them the same answer as before. They repeated the question once more, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "Do not drink nabidh in naqir, lest one of you strikes his cousin with this naqir and he remains lame until the Day of Judgment." The narrator says, upon this, they laughed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are you laughing at?" They replied, "By the One Who has sent you with the truth, indeed, we once drank nabidh in our naqir. Then one of us stood up and struck someone with this naqir, and that person became lame until the Day of Judgment because of that blow."
