5743. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that Nabīdh of raisins would be made for him in a water skin in the morning, and he would drink it that night, and it would be made for him in the evening, and he would drink it in the morning. He would wash out the water skins and not leave any pieces or anything in them. Nāff’ said: “We used to drink it like honey.” (Sahīh)
5740 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لَهُ فِي سِقَاءٍ الزَّبِيبُ غُدْوَةً، فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، وَيُنْبَذُ لَهُ عَشِيَّةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً، وَكَانَ يَغْسِلُ الْأَسْقِيَةَ، وَلَا يَجْعَلُ فِيهَا دُرْدِيًّا، وَلَا شَيْئًا» قَالَ نَافِعٌ: «فَكُنَّا نَشْرَبُهُ مِثْلَ الْعَسَلِ»

‘Like honey’ means it used to be pure sweet. It contained no sourness. It is obvious that in one night or one day, there is absolutely no possibility of it turning sour. Though, if there is no intoxication, absolute sourness does not render Nabīdh unlawful. After all, vinegar also happens to be sour. And vinegar is lawful and permissible.
