English translation

2021. Bakr bin 'Abdullāh narrated that a man said to Ibn 'Abbās: "Why is it that this house (of yours) gives Nabīdh (to the Muḥrim) to drink, whereas their cousins give them milk, honey and Sawīq? Is it because of miserliness, or poverty?" Ibn 'Abbās replied: "Neither are we miserly nor are we poor! Rather, the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ entered his tent, and Usāmah bin Zaid was behind him, and he asked for a drink. So Nabīdh was brought to him, and he drank from it, and gave the remainder of it to Usāmah bin Zaid, who also drank from it. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'You have done good and well! This is what you should do.' So this is how we are: We don't want to change what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2021 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: مَا بَالُ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ يَسْقُونَ النَّبِيذَ، وَبَنُو عَمِّهِمْ يَسْقُونَ اللَّبَنَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَالسَّوِيقَ أَبُخْلٌ بِهِمْ أَمْ حَاجَةٌ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: مَا بِنَا مِنْ بُخْلٍ وَلَا بِنَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَخَلْفَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَرَابٍ، فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَدَفَعَ فَضْلَهُ إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ، كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلُوا» فَنَحْنُ هَكَذَا لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُغَيِّرَ مَا قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

Faith demands of the faithful to give precedence to the words and acts of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, over the opinions of others, as did the Companions.
