Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25378 — Those who disliked the green earthen

It is narrated from Suhayrah bint Jayfar that she said: We (once) performed Hajj, then returned to Madinah and went to see Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her). There we happened to meet some women from the people of Kufah. They said to us: If you wish, we will ask and you listen (quietly), and if you wish, you ask and we will listen. We said: You ask. So they asked about many matters concerning husband and wife and about the menstruating woman. And they asked about the nabidh of earthenware jars. At this Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O people of Iraq! You have asked us very many questions about the nabidh of earthenware jars, whereas the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has declared the nabidh of earthenware jars forbidden. There is nothing against any one of you if she cooks her dates, then rubs them, strains them, then puts it in a waterskin and closes its mouth by tying a cord or the like over it; then, when that drink has become pleasant, she drinks it herself and also gives it to her husband to drink.
