Sunan an-Nasa'i

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ وَمِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مَسَاءُ الثَّالِثَةِ فَإِنْ بَقِيَ فِي الإِنَاءِ شَىْءٌ لَمْ يَشْرَبُوهُ أُهْرِيقَ ‏.‏

"Nabidh would be made for the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he would drink it in the morning, and on the following morning. Then on the evening before the third day, if there was anything left in the vessel, they would not drink it and it would be thrown away."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that:

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْبَهْرَانِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُنْقَعُ لَهُ الزَّبِيبُ فَيَشْرَبُهُ يَوْمَهُ وَالْغَدَ وَبَعْدَ الْغَدِ ‏.‏

Raisins would be soaked for the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he would drink it that day, the following day, and the day after that.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:

أَخْبَرَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُنْبَذُ لَهُ نَبِيذُ الزَّبِيبِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَجْعَلُهُ فِي سِقَاءٍ فَيَشْرَبُهُ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ وَالْغَدَ وَبَعْدَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ الثَّالِثَةِ سَقَاهُ أَوْ شَرِبَهُ فَإِنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ أَهْرَاقَهُ ‏.‏

"Nabidh of raisins would be made for the Messenger of Allah [SAW] at night, and he would put it in a water skin and drink it during the next day, the day after, and the day after that. At the end of the third day, he would give it to others to drink, or drink it himself, and if anything was left the following morning, he would pour it away."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لَهُ فِي سِقَاءِ الزَّبِيبِ غُدْوَةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُنْبَذُ لَهُ عَشِيَّةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً وَكَانَ يَغْسِلُ الأَسْقِيَةَ وَلاَ يَجْعَلُ فِيهَا دُرْدِيًّا وَلاَ شَيْئًا ‏.‏ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَكُنَّا نَشْرَبُهُ مِثْلَ الْعَسَلِ ‏.‏

Nabidh of raisins would be made for him in a water skin in the morning, and he would drink it that night, and it would be made for him in the evening, and he would drink it in the morning. He would wash out the water skins and not leave any pieces or anything in them. Nafi' said: "We used to drink it like honey."

It was narrated that Bassam said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ بَسَّامٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ، قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ رضى الله عنه يُنْبَذُ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً وَيُنْبَذُ لَهُ غُدْوَةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ‏.‏

"I asked Abu Ja'far about Nabidh and he said: " 'Ali bin Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, would have Nabidh made for him at night, and he would drink it in the morning, and he would have Nabidh made in the morning and he would drink it at night.'"

'Abdullah said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، سُئِلَ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ، قَالَ انْتَبِذْ عَشِيًّا وَاشْرَبْهُ غُدْوَةً ‏.‏

"I heard Sufyan being asked about Nabidh. He said: 'Make Nabidh at night and drink it in the morning.'"

It was narrated from Abu 'Uthman, who was not Al-Hindi, that:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، وَلَيْسَ، بِالنَّهْدِيِّ أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ، أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ تَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ فَحَدَّثَهَا عَنِ النَّضْرِ ابْنِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُنْبَذُ فِي جَرٍّ يُنْبَذُ غُدْوَةً وَيَشْرَبُهُ عَشِيَّةً ‏.‏

Umm Al-Fadl sent word to Anas bin Malik, asking him about Nabidh made in an earthenware jar. He told her about his son An-Nadr, who used to make Nabidh in an earthenware jar in the morning and drink it in the evening.

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyib that:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ، نَطْلَ النَّبِيذِ فِي النَّبِيذِ لِيَشْتَدَّ بِالنَّطْلِ ‏.‏

He disliked putting the dregs of Nabidh into (new) Nabidh lest it become strong because of the dregs.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said concerning Nabidh:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي النَّبِيذِ خَمْرُهُ دُرْدِيُّهُ ‏.‏

"The dregs are what intoxicates."

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الْخَمْرُ لأَنَّهَا تُرِكَتْ حَتَّى مَضَى صَفْوُهَا وَبَقِيَ كَدَرُهَا ‏.‏ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ يُنْبَذُ عَلَى عَكَرٍ ‏.‏

"Khamr is so called because it is left until the good parts are gone and the dregs remain." And he disliked everything that was made by using dregs (by adding new materials to the dregs).

It was narrated that Ibrahim said:

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ مَنْ، شَرِبَ شَرَابًا فَسَكِرَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَصْلُحْ لَهُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِيهِ ‏.‏

"They used to think that whoever drank something and became intoxicated from it, it was not befitting for him to go back and drink more of the same."

It was narrated that Ibrahim said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِنَبِيذِ الْبُخْتُجِ ‏.‏

"There is nothing wrong with Nabidh Al-Bukhtuj."

It was narrated that Abu Al-Miskin said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مِسْكِينٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَأْخُذُ دُرْدِيَّ الْخَمْرِ أَوِ الطِّلاَءَ فَنُنَظِّفُهُ ثُمَّ نَنْقَعُ فِيهِ الزَّبِيبَ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ نُصَفِّيهِ ثُمَّ نَدَعُهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ فَنَشْرَبُهُ قَالَ يُكْرَهُ ‏.‏

"I asked Ibrahim: 'We take the dregs of Khamr or Tila' (thickened grape juice) and clean them, then we soak it with raisins for three days, then we strain it and leave it until it matures, then we drink it.' He said: 'That is Makruh.'"

It was narrated that Ibn Shubrumah said:

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ، قَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ شَدَّدَ النَّاسُ فِي النَّبِيذِ وَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ ‏.‏

"May Allah have mercy on Ibrahim. Other scholars had strict views on Nabidh but he was lenient."

Ibn Al-Mubarak said:

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ، يَقُولُ مَا وَجَدْتُ الرُّخْصَةَ فِي الْمُسْكِرِ عَنْ أَحَدٍ صَحِيحًا إِلاَّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ‏.‏

"I have never found any sound report, giving a concession on intoxicants, except the report narrated from Ibrahim."

'Ubaidullah bin Sa'eed said:

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُسَامَةَ، يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً أَطْلَبَ لِلْعِلْمِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الشَّامَاتِ وَمِصْرَ وَالْيَمَنَ وَالْحِجَازَ ‏.‏

"I heard Abu Usamah say: 'I never saw any man more assiduous in seeking knowledge than 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, not in Ash-Sham, Egypt, Yemen or the Hijaz.'"

It was narrated that Anas said:

أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ كَانَ لأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ قَدَحٌ مِنْ عَيْدَانٍ فَقَالَتْ سَقَيْتُ فِيهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كُلَّ الشَّرَابِ الْمَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَاللَّبَنَ وَالنَّبِيذَ ‏.‏

Umm Sulaim had a wooden cup and she said: "I gave the Messenger of Allah [SAW] all kinds of things to drink in it: Water, honey, milk and Nabidh."

It was narrated from Sa'eed bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abza that his father said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ ذَرِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ، فَقَالَ اشْرَبِ الْمَاءَ وَاشْرَبِ الْعَسَلَ وَاشْرَبِ السَّوِيقَ وَاشْرَبِ اللَّبَنَ الَّذِي نُجِعَتْ بِهِ ‏.‏ فَعَاوَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ الْخَمْرَ تُرِيدُ الْخَمْرَ تُرِيدُ ‏.‏

"I asked Ubayy bin Ka'b about Nabidh, and he said: 'Drink water, drink honey, drink Sawiq (barley gruel) and drink milk that you have been nourished with since childhood.' I repeated the question and he said: 'Is it wine you want? Is it wine you want?'"

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said:

أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَحْدَثَ النَّاسُ أَشْرِبَةً مَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ فَمَا لِي شَرَابٌ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً إِلاَّ الْمَاءُ وَالسَّوِيقُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّبِيذَ ‏.‏

"The people have invented new drinks and I do not know what they are. I have not drunk anything for 20 years (or he said: 40 years) except water and Sawiq (barley gruel), and he did not mention Nabidh."

It was narrated that 'Abidah said:

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، قَالَ أَحْدَثَ النَّاسُ أَشْرِبَةً مَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ وَمَا لِي شَرَابٌ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً إِلاَّ الْمَاءُ وَاللَّبَنُ وَالْعَسَلُ ‏.‏

"The people have invented drinks and I do not know what they are. I have not drunk anything for 20 years except water, milk and honey."

It was narrated that Ibn Shubrumah said:

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ طَلْحَةُ لأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي النَّبِيذِ فِتْنَةٌ يَرْبُو فِيهَا الصَّغِيرُ وَيَهْرَمُ فِيهَا الْكَبِيرُ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمْ عُرْسٌ كَانَ طَلْحَةُ وَزُبَيْرٌ يَسْقِيَانِ اللَّبَنَ وَالْعَسَلَ ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ لِطَلْحَةَ أَلاَ تَسْقِيهِمُ النَّبِيذَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسْكَرَ مُسْلِمٌ فِي سَبَبِي ‏.‏

"Talhah said to the people of Al-Kufah concerning Nabidh: 'It is a test whereby a young man may benefit but an old man may be harmed.' If there was a wedding among them, Talhah and Zubaid would offer milk and honey to drink. It was said to Talhah: 'Why don't you offer Nabidh?' He said: 'I would not like a Muslim to become intoxicated because of me.'"

Jarir said:

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ شُبْرُمَةَ لاَ يَشْرَبُ إِلاَّ الْمَاءَ وَاللَّبَنَ ‏.‏

"Ibn Shubrumah would not drink anything except water and milk."
