It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Mus'ab Madani, who says that he heard Hazrat Abu Hurairah say: When the command regarding the prohibition of wine was revealed, people would take semi-ripe dates and cut off the tail of the Harmadhannab (dates with tails), then they would take the semi-ripe date, split it in the middle, put it in water, and then drink it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir, he says that the (nabidh) of ripe and unripe dates is khamr (intoxicant).

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid, he says that a man asked Hazrat Umar about Fadheeh. So he asked, what is Fadheeh? The man replied, half-ripe dates are split and mixed with ripe dates. Then he said, this is Fadhooh. You said: Wine has been made unlawful. There is no other wine besides this.

Hazrat Abu Zubair narrates about Hazrat Jabir, he says that he disliked mixing ripe and unripe dates, and mixing raisins with dates.

It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Kaisan, he says: I asked Abu al-Sha’tha Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid about Fadheekh. So he asked: What is Fadheekh? I explained, ripe and half-ripe dates. Upon this he said: By God! If you take plain water and boil it, then put it in your stomach, it is better than gathering ripe and half-ripe dates together in your stomach.

It is narrated from Hazrat Thabit bin Ubaid, he says that Hazrat Abu Masood Ansari used to instruct his family members to separate the semi-ripe dates from the fully ripe (tail-end) dates, and then they would make a separate nabidh (date drink) from each type of date.

Hazrat Abu Abdullah Jusri narrates about Hazrat Ma'qil bin Yasar that he asked Hazrat Ma'qil about wine. So he replied, we used to be in Madinah and it was a region abundant in dates. But the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made Fadheekh forbidden for us. The narrator says that a person came to him and asked him about his mother, that his mother had reached such an age that she could not eat food, so could the questioner give his mother Nabidh to drink? The narrator says, I asked him, O Ma'qil bin Yasar! What ruling did you give him about this? He said, I instructed him not to give his mother Nabidh to drink.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed, he says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade mixing dates and raisins, and forbade mixing ripe and half-ripe dates.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that we were in the house of Hazrat Abu Talha and with us were Hazrat Suhail bin Baida, Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b, and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah, and these people were drinking wine when suddenly a caller announced: "Beware! Wine has been declared forbidden." By Allah! These gentlemen did not even check whether this news was true or false, until they said, "O Anas! Whatever wine remains in the vessels, pour it out." So we poured out the remaining wine, and on that day the wine was made from ripe and semi-ripe dates. By Allah! After that, these people never turned towards it again until their death.

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not mix unripe and ripe dates together, nor mix raisins and dates together; make nabidh from each of them separately."
