Drinking from vessels

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Niyar (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Drink from all vessels, but do not reach the point of intoxication."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade nabidh in these vessels. But then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had forbidden you from nabidh, but now drink from whatever you wish. Whoever wishes may tie up his waterskin over sin."

Ibn Buraydah reports from his father (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in anything other than a waterskin. But now drink from all kinds of vessels, but do not drink an intoxicant."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking nabidhs in vessels. But then after that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I had forbidden you from drinking nabidhs in vessels. So now drink from whatever you wish. And whoever wishes may tie up his waterskin over sin."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: It was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Not all people have (the approved) vessels. So he permitted them some vessels, that is, containers.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had forbidden you from these vessels, but now drink from them, and avoid everything that intoxicates."

Ibn al-Rusaym, who was a man from the people of Hajar and was a jurist, reports from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a delegation, and this delegation had gone to him (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying charity. He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the members of the delegation from drinking nabidh in these vessels. So they returned to their land. That land of Tihamah was hot, and they found this land unwholesome. Then the next year they came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) with their charities and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You forbade us from these vessels, so we gave up those vessels, but this caused us great hardship. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and drink from whatever you wish. Whoever wishes may tie up his waterskin over sin."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the vessels, so some of the Ansar complained to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We have no other vessels. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then this prohibition does not apply."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I had restrained you from these vessels, whereas vessels do not make anything lawful or unlawful. So you may drink from these vessels."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Every lawful thing is lawful in every vessel, and every unlawful thing is unlawful in every vessel.

Abu al-Sha'tha al-Kindi reports from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said: I heard Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saying: A vessel neither makes anything lawful nor makes it unlawful.

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi; he said: The nabidh of mizr is more severe than the nabidh of the large jar. No vessel makes anything unlawful, nor does it make anything lawful.

It is narrated from al-Zubayr bin Adi; he said: Mention was made before Shurayh of the waterskins in which nabidh is made. So Shurayh said: These waterskins neither make anything lawful nor make anything unlawful. Rather, look at what you put in them, whether lawful or unlawful.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said: Every lawful thing is lawful in every kind of vessel, and every unlawful thing is unlawful in every kind of vessel.
