حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كُنَّا نَنْبِذُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سِقَاءٍ يُوكَى أَعْلَاهُ ، وَلَهُ عَزْلَاءُ نَنْبِذُهُ غُدْوَةً ، فَيَشْرَبُهُ عِشَاءً وَنَنْبِذُهُ عِشَاءً فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً " .
'A'isha reported: We prepared Nabidh for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a waterskin, the upper part of which was tied and it (the waterskin) had a hole (in its lower part). We prepared the Nabidh in the morning and he drank it in the evening and we prepared the Nabidh in the night, and he would drink it in the morning.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
➊ If dates or raisins are thoroughly rubbed by hand and then put into water, the nabidh (date or raisin-infused drink) is prepared quickly, and the possibility of intoxication arising in it also occurs sooner.
➋ If dates and raisins are simply placed in water without rubbing, then intoxication does not develop quickly.
➌ There is also a difference between the seasons of heat and cold: in summer, fermentation and intensity develop quickly, while in winter, it is delayed.
➍ Therefore, the narration of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu would pertain to the winter season, and the hadith of Aisha radi Allahu anha would be regarding the summer season.

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: ➊
The point is that nabidh was not left in its container for a long time, lest intoxication should develop in it.

Benefits and Issues:
By soaking from morning till evening or from evening till morning, the sweetness is thoroughly infused into the water, but intoxication does not occur; therefore, this drink is undoubtedly permissible.
