5696. It was narrated that Qais bin Wahbân said: "I asked Ibn 'Abbâs: 'I have a small jar in which I make Nabīdh and when it has bubbled
and settled down again, I drink it.' He said: 'For how long you have been drinking that?' He said: 'For twenty years'" – or he said: 'for forty years.' He said: 'For a long time you have been quenching your thirst with something forbidden.'"

Commentary
The occurrence of fermentation in Nabīdh is a sign that it contains intoxication. That is why Ibn Abbas ruled it as being polluted and unlawful. So to state, according to Ibn Abbas, intoxicating beverage is polluted and unlawful, whether it is little or much. Therefore, the narration transmitted from him, concerning the permission of drinking intoxicating drinks in less quantity than what intoxicates, is not correct.
