5658. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah (narrated) from his father that while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was walking, he approached some people and heard a confused noise
coming from them. He said: "What is this noise?" They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, they have a drink that they drink." He sent for those people and said: "In what do you soak (fruit - to make that drink)?" They said: "We soak (fruits) in vessels carved from wood and gourds, and we have no water skins (that can be closed)." He said: "Do not drink except from a vessel that can be tied closed." Then as much time as Allāh willed passed, then he went back to them and they had fallen sick and become pallid. He said: "Why do you look so ill?" They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, our land is unhealthy and you forbade to us everything except that which was in a vessel that could be tied closed." He said: "Drink, but every intoxicant is unlawful." (Hasan)

'Tied closed, means prepare it in a leather water bag, because only such containers could be fastened shut. For the specific reason for making Nabīdh or beverage, please see No. 5649.
