Drinking nabidh from the Siqayah

Mujahid narrates from his master Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to order him to drink from the drinking place (siqayah) of the family of Abbas, and would say: "Indeed, it is part of the completion of Hajj."

Ata said: Drink water from the drinking place (siqayah) of the family of Abbas; indeed the Muslims drink from it, and it is Sunnah.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his slave: "Drink water from the drinking place (siqayah) of the family of Abbas; indeed the Muslims drink from it."

Al-Rabi' bin Sa'd said: I saw Abu Ja'far circumambulate the House of Allah, then he came to Zamzam, and nabidh from the siqayah was brought to him. He drank half of it himself and gave half to Ja'far.

Bakr bin Abdullah al-Muzani said: I like it more for a man that he should drink the nabidh of the Siqayah.

Muhammad bin Abi Isma'il said: Sa'id bin Jubayr left Mina in the intense midday heat, went round the House seven times and prayed two rak'ahs. Then he came to the Siqayah, and Muhammad bin Ali gave us nabidh to drink; Sa'id bin Jubayr drank from it and then gave me to drink. (The Siqayah refers to the department of the servants of the Sacred Mosque in Makkah whose duty is to give water to the pilgrims.)

Suwayd bin Ghafalah said: Drink the nabidh of the Siqayah.

A man said: I drank with Mujahid from the nabidh of the Siqayah, a nabidh that gave me a headache.

Nafi' said: I never saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) drink nabidh when he returned to Makkah (for the Ifadah).

Khalid bin Abi Bakr said: I performed Hajj with Salim more times than can be counted, and I never once saw him drink the nabidh of the Siqayah.
