It is narrated about Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair that he said: "I would prefer to become such a donkey on which water is carried, rather than drink old and fine nabidh made from raisins."

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair. He says: Drink the nabidh of soaked raisins as long as it is sweet and its sharpness is felt on the tongue.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that raisins used to be soaked for the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) would drink that water on the first, second, and until the evening of the third day. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would order that whatever remained be either consumed or discarded.

Hazrat Abdul Wahid bin Safwan narrates. He says that I heard my father, who narrated from his mother, that she said: I used to soak raisins for Hazrat Uthman in the morning, which he would drink in the evening, and (similarly) I used to soak raisins for him in the evening, which he would drink in the morning. Then Hazrat Uthman (one day) said to her (the lady Safiyyah): Perhaps you also add dates to it? She replied: Sometimes I do this. So Hazrat Uthman said: Do not do this.

Hazrat Musa bin Tareef narrates from his father. He says that for Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), nabidh made from raisins was prepared in a white pitcher, and he used to drink it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Rafi that he says: I said to Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), "I make nabidh from raisins, but some of my friends come and throw dates into it and spoil my nabidh. Now, what is your opinion about this?" He replied: "There is no harm in it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ikrimah regarding the nabidh (fermented drink) of grapes. He says that the upper part of it is also forbidden and the lower part of it is also forbidden.

It is narrated from Ibrahim. He says that there is no harm in the nabidh of 'araq.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sulaik bin Mashhal. He says that when Hazrat Umar set out to perform Hajj or Umrah, he stopped by a well and asked for his travel provisions, from which he ate, and the rest of the people also ate. Then he asked for water, and a cup of nabidh was brought to him. He said: "Give this cup of nabidh to Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf." When Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf smelled it, he returned the cup. Then the cup was given to Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas, and he also smelled it and returned it. Hazrat Umar said: "Bring it here." So he tasted the cup and then said: "O Ajlan!" (addressing his servant), "What is this?" He replied: "O Commander of the Faithful! I put raisins in a waterskin, then I hung it inside the saddle, and I poured water over it." Hazrat Umar said: "Bring two witnesses for what you are saying." So he brought two witnesses, and they testified. Then Hazrat Umar said: "O my son! Wash your waterskin."

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair, he says that a man asked him and said: We intend to use raisins, so we wash off their dust, then we put them in a large pitcher or a large jar, and then we leave them like this for two months in winter and for a shorter period in summer? Upon this, Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib said: This is exactly what wine (khamr) is, so you should avoid it.
