Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25466 — Those who permitted nabidh

Abu al-Harith al-Taymi narrates from Umm Ma'bad that she said: O my son! Surely the one who declares unlawful the things Allah Almighty has made lawful is just like the one who declares lawful the things Allah Almighty has made unlawful. I used to prepare nabidh for Sayyiduna Qarazah bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was a man to whom Allah Almighty had given much wealth. He would give this nabidh to the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to drink, and among those Companions who used to visit him were Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with them both), in a large pitch-coated vat and in a green jar.
