Ibrahim al-Nakha'i إبراهيم النخعي · The Book of Drinks

"Anas used to tell us to cut off the extra bits."

"The Messenger of Allah forbade soaking (fruits) in earthenware jars."

'Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "If you fear that Nabidh may be too strong, then weaken it with water." 'Abdullah (one of the narrators) said: "Before it gets strong."

"I heard Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab say, when a Bedouin asked him about a drink that had been cooked and reduced by half: 'No, not until two-third has gone and one-third is left.'"

"Nabidh would be made for the Messenger of Allah 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."

Raisins would be soaked for the Messenger of Allah and he would drink it that day, the following day, and the day after that.

"Nabidh of raisins would be made for the Messenger of Allah at night, and he would put it in a water skin and drink it during the next day, the day after, and the day after that. At the end of the third day, he would give it to others to drink, or drink it himself, and if anything was left the following morning, he would pour it away."
