Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abu Zayd quoted Abdullah ibn Masud as saying that on the night when the jinn listened to the Quran the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: What is in your skin vessel? He said: I have some nabidh. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It consists of fresh dates and pure water. Sulayman ibn Dawud reported the same version of this tradition on the authority of Abu Zayd or Zayd. But Sharik said that Hammad did not mention the words "night of the jinn".

Narrated Alqamah: I asked Abd Allaah b Masud: Which of you was in the company of the Messenger of Allaah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم on the night when the jinn attended him? He replied: None of us was with him.

It is reported that Ata did not approve of performing ablution with milk and nabidh and said: tayammum is more my liking (than performing ablution with milk and nabidh).

Narrated Abu Khaldah: I asked Abul-Aliyah whether a person who is sexually defiled and has no water with him, but he has only nabidh, can wash with it? He replied in the negative.
