The explanation of the vessels, and what they are

It is narrated from Muslim al-Batin; he said: I asked Abu Amr al-Shaybani about ji'ah. He replied: It is a drink of Yemen that is made from barley.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: Hantam is a red jar that comes to us from Egypt.

It is narrated from al-Salt bin Bahram; he said: I asked Ibrahim about hantam. He said: These were red, tarred jars that were brought from the region of Syria. They were called hantam.

Abu al-Harith al-Taymi reports from Sayyidah Umm Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with her); he said: I asked: What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) say about these vessels? She replied: You have come to one who is well informed (that is, you have asked someone who knows). As for hanatim, they are the hanatim of the non-Arabs, vessels that a man would enter and clean out: vessels for wine. And dubba' is the gourd (made into a vessel). And muzaffat is the waterskin that has tar on the inside and whose outside is also coloured with tar: vessels for wine. And naqir is the trunk of a tree whose roots remain in the ground, and which is hollowed out and made into a vessel.

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla that he said: Hanatim were red jars that were tarred, and they were brought from the land of Egypt, and they were not green jars.

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla; he said: Hantam was a green jar that contained wine, and that jar was brought from Egypt.

It is narrated from Sa'id bin Jubayr; he said: Hantam means all jars.

It is narrated from Abu Ishaq al-Shaybani; he said: I asked Abu Burdah: What is bit'? He said: It is the nabidh of honey. And mizr is what the nabidh of barley is called.
