Arabic text

3395 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ التَّمْرُ، وَالزَّبِيبُ جَمِيعًا، وَنَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ الْبُسْرُ، وَالرُّطَبُ جَمِيعًا» قَالَ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] Because when two fruits are mixed, the resulting liquid may become an intoxicant even before the taste changes, so people may unwittingly drink something intoxicating.

  2. 2

    [2] Nabidh is what is produced by soaking dates, or fruit in water. When it ferments it becomes intoxicating and is unlawful.

Commentary

If fresh dates, dry dates, or raisins are soaked in water and left overnight, the sweetness of the above things dissolves in the water, and it turns into a sweet drink that is called Nabidh. It is lawful since it does not have the characteristic of intoxication. If two different things are mixed up for preparing Nabidh then it is more prone to develop the characteristic of intoxication. So, it should be avoided.
