English Translation
Yahya ibn Hakim narrated to us, he said: Ibn Abi Adiyy narrated to us, from Uyaynah, from his father, from Abu Bakrah, that nabidh [date drink] used to be prepared for him in a green jar. He said: Abu Barzah arrived from a journey he had taken and went first to the house of Abu Bakrah but did not find him there. He stopped by his wife and asked about Abu Bakrah, and she told him. Then he noticed the jar in which the nabidh was and said: "What is in this jar?" She said: "Nabidh for Abu Bakrah." He said: "I wish you would put it in a waterskin." Then he left, and she ordered that nabidh to be poured into a waterskin. Then Abu Bakrah came and she told him about Abu Barzah al-Aslami. He said: "What is in this waterskin?" She said: "Abu Barzah ordered us to put your nabidh in it." He said: "I will not drink what is in it. If you put wine in a waterskin, would it become lawful for me? And if you put honey in a jar, would it become forbidden to me? I know well what we were forbidden from - we were forbidden from al-dubba' [gourd vessels] and al-hantam [green jars]" - in which dates are soaked and water is added to make nabidh and intoxicating drink.
