morning. Then on the evening before the third day, if there was anything left in the vessel, they would not drink it and it would be thrown away.” (Sahīh)

Commentary
In the narration of the Mother of the Believers, Ai'shah ﷺ, there is mention of one day and one night. It is possible that during summertime when there was the danger of the occurrence of intoxication, one day and one night was thought enough, and during the wintertime, etc., he might have been drinking it until two or three days. Moreover, this Nabīdh was made in a leather water bag (as is elucidated in the report of Ai'shah ﷺ). There was, therefore, no danger of intoxication, even if it was kept for long. At the most it could turn sour. Hence, both the narrations are correct. The objective is protection against intoxication.
