It is narrated from Hazrat Dawood bin Ibrahim, he says that I asked Hazrat Ta'oos, "What is your opinion about that 'Aseer' (grape juice) which is cooked until it is reduced to half or a third, etc.?" He replied, "Do you see in this 'Aseer' anything like honey, that if you wish you may eat it with bread, and if you wish you may mix it with water and then drink it? And whatever is of a lesser degree than this, you should neither drink it, nor sell it, nor derive any benefit from its price."

He replied, "A man was in a state of intoxication during the blessed time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and was brought to the gathering of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in that state. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then ordered him to be beaten, Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about the drink. He said, 'I drank nabidh.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, 'Which nabidh?' He replied, 'Nabidh of dates and raisins.' The narrator said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Do not mix the two together, for each one of them is sufficient on its own.'"

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah narrates from his father, who narrates from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Do not use dates and raisins together to make nabidh, and do not make nabidh by combining unripe and ripe dates together; rather, make nabidh from each of them separately."
