Bayhaqi 17431 — Reports on diluting with water

وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ حَبْتَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ عَبْدُ الْقَيْسِ، أَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ رِيفٍ، وَإِنَّا نُصِيبُ مِنَ الْبَقْلِ، فَأْمُرْنَا بِشَرَابٍ، فَقَالَ: " اشْرَبُوا فِي الْأَسْقِيَةِ، وَلَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي الْجَرِّ، وَلَا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ، وَلَا الْمُزَفَّتِ، وَلَا النَّقِيرِ، وَإِنِّي نَهَيْتُ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ، وَهِيَ الطَّبْلُ، وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " صُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ " قَال: فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ؟ قَالَ: " صُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ " قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ: " فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ فَاهَرِيقُوهُ " خَالَفَهُ أَبُو جَمْرَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَذِكْرُ الْكَسْرِ بِالْمَاءِ مِنْ قَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The first to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about nabidh were Banu Abd al-Qays. They came and said: O Messenger of Allah, we live in a land of farming and we get our produce from it, so tell us about drinks. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Drink from drinking vessels, and do not drink from earthenware jars, gourd vessels, wooden vessels or vessels made with tar; and I have been forbidden wine, gambling and the drum, and every intoxicant is also forbidden." They said: O Messenger of Allah, what if it becomes very thick? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mix water into it." Then they asked the same question and he gave the same answer again. Then, when they repeated the same question a third or fourth time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When it becomes very strong, pour it out."
Abu Jamrah contradicted him in narrating from Ibn Abbas, so the mention of diluting it with water is the saying of Ibn Abbas himself.
