3398. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "We used to make Nabidh for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in a water skin. We would take a handful of dates or a handful of raisins, and put them in it, then pour water over it. We would make that in the morning and he would drink it in the evening, or we would make it in the evening and he would drink it in the morning." (Sahih)
Abu Mu'āwiyah said: "...in the day and he would drink it at night, or at night and he would drink it during the day."
