It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When it was the night of the jinn, two individuals among them stayed behind and they said: "O Messenger of Allah! We will perform the Fajr prayer with you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do you have water?" I said: "I do not have water, but I have nabidh in a vessel." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pure dates and purifying water."

(Second Chain) Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do you have purifying (water)?" I said: "No," He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what is in this small vessel?" I said: "Nabidh (date-infused water)," He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give it to me, it is pure dates and purifying water." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with it and prayed.

(Third Chain) Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night of the jinn. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Abdullah! Do you have any water?" He replied: "I have nabidh (a drink made from dates or raisins soaked in water) in a vessel." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pour it over me." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abdullah bin Mas'ud! This is a pure drink."
