Qatadah said on the authority of Jabir bin Zaid and Ikrimah that they disapprove of drink made exclusively from unripe dates. This they reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas said: I am afraid it may not be muzza from which (the people of) Abd al-Qais were prohibited. I asked Qatadah: What is muzza’? He replied: Drink of dates made in a green jar and vessels smeared with pitch.

Narrated Ad-Daylami: We came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him: Messenger of Allah, you know who we are, from where we are and to whom we have come. He said: To Allah and His Messenger. We said: Messenger of Allah, we have grapes; what should we do with them? He said: Make them raisins. We then asked: What should we do with raisins? He replied: Steep them in the morning and drink in the evening, and steep them in the evening and drink in the morning. Steep them in skin vessels and do not steep them in earthen jar, for it it is delayed in pressing, it becomes vinegar.

Aishah said: Dates were steeped for the Apostel of Allah ﷺ in skin which was tied up at the top and had a mouth. What was steeped in the morning he would drink in the evening and what was steeped in the evening he would drink in the morning.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Amrah said on the authority of Aishah that she would steep dates for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning. When the evening came, he took his dinner and drank it after his dinner. If anything remained, she poured it out. She then would steep for him at night. When the morning came, he took his morning meal and drank it after his morning meal. She said: The skin vessel was washed in the morning and in the evening. My father (Hayyan) said to her: Twice a day? She said: Yes.

Ibn abbas said: Raisins were steeped for the Prophet ﷺ and he would drink it in the morning and the night after, the following day and the night after. He then gave orders and it was given to servants to drinks or poured away. Abu Dawud said: That "it was given to servants to drink" means before it spoiled. Abu Dawud said: Abu Umar Yahya al-Bahrani.

Aishah said that the prophet ﷺ used to stay with Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, and drink honey. I and Hafsah counseled each other that if the Prophet ﷺ enters upon any of us, she must say: I find the smell of gum (maghafir) from you. He then entered upon one of them; she said that to him. Thereupon he said: No, I drank honey at (the house of) Zainab daughter of jahsh, and I will not do it again. Then the following verse came down: ’’O Prophet!why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee ? ‘’Thou seekest. . . If you two turn in repentance to Allah ‘’ refers to Hafsah and Aishah, and the verse: ‘’When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statements of the Prophet ﷺ disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: No, I drank honey.

Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked sweet meats and honey. The narrator then mentioned a part of the tradition mentioned above. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt it hard on him to find smell from him. In this tradition saudah said: but you ate gum ? He said: No, I drank honey. Hafsah gave it to me to drank. I said: Its bees ate ‘urfut. Abu Dawud said: Maghafir is a gum ; jarasat means ate; ’urfut is a bees ‘ plant.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: I knew that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to keep fast. I waited for the day when he did not fast to present him the drink (nabidh) which I made in a pumpkin. I then brought it to him while it fermented. He said: Throw it to this wall, for this is a drink of the one who does not believe in Allah and the Last Day.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ forbade that a man should drink while standing.

Nazzal bin Samurah said: Ali asked for water and he drank it while standing. He then said: some people disapprove of doing this (drinking while standing ), but I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing as I have done.
