Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Safiyyah, daughter of Atiyyah, said: I entered upon Aishah with some women of AbdulQays, and asked her about mixing dried dates and raisins (for drink).

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.
