5694. It was narrated that Abû Hamzah said: "I used to interpret between Ibn 'Abbâs and the people. A woman came to him and asked him about Nabîdh made in earthenware jars, and he forbade it. I said: 'O Abû 'Abbâs, I make a sweet Nabîdh in a green earthenware jar; when I drink it, my stomach makes noises.' He said: 'Do not drink it even if it is sweeter than honey.'" (Sahîh)
5691 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُتَرْجِمُ بَيْنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ تَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ، «فَنَهَى عَنْهُ» قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ إِنِّي أَنْتَبِذُ فِي جَرَّةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، نَبِيذًا حُلْوًا، فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ فَيُقَرْقِرُ بَطْنِي، قَالَ: «لَا تَشْرَبْ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ»

1. The objective of the question is that no sourness in its taste is felt. On the contrary, it happens to be very sweet, and this is symbolic of it not being intoxicating. But the rumbling in the stomach creates doubts that it probably contains intoxication, because this tartness is its evidence. The gist of the answer is that one should not consume such a spurious beverage, irrespective of whether its taste is wholesome and apparently it does not seem to be intoxicating. Just consider it that Ibn Abbas ﷺ is not prepared to give permission for doubtful Nabîdh. 2. 'Abû Abbas': This is also the agnomen of Ibn Abbas ﷺ.
