5740. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Nabîdh would be made for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he would drink it in the morning, and on the following 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)
5737 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُطِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ، ومِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَدِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ مَسَاءُ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَإِنْ بَقِيَ فِي الْإِنَاءِ شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَشْرَبُوهُ أُهَرِيقَ»

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.
