Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the use of pitchers, vessels made from gourds, containers carved from tree trunks, and vessels coated with tar.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from using pitchers, vessels prepared by scraping date-palm trunks, tar-coated vessels, and those water skins whose mouths had been cut off. Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Make nabidh in your water skin, tie its strap, and drink good, sweet nabidh. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! Grant me a little permission regarding them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) spread out his hand and indicated to him: If I give you a little permission, then this practice will increase.

Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon while standing and forbade the use of vessels made from gourds and vessels coated with pitch.

Yahya bin Ghassan Taymi narrates, he says: My father was among the delegation from Abd al-Qais who came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He forbade them from using those four types of vessels. He says: We stopped using those vessels, but we were afflicted by an epidemic. When we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the following year, we said: O Messenger of Allah! You forbade us from using those vessels, and our area is plagued by an epidemic, and we have been afflicted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now you may prepare nabidh in any vessel you wish, just do not drink anything intoxicating, and whoever wishes may seal the mouth of his waterskin.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the delegation of Abdul Qais came, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every person is responsible for himself, every nation may drink from whichever vessel it wishes, but it should not be intoxicating.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the delegation of Abdul Qais came, I was also present at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from drinking from these vessels: vessels made from gourds, pitch-coated jars, and those made from palm trunks. A man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! People do not have any other vessels. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah says: I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt compassion for the people's condition and he said: Drink from these vessels as much as you wish, but when intoxication is produced, then stop.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited drinking from those vessels, the Ansar said: We have no alternative except to use them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then there is no harm, use them.

Sayyiduna Buraidah bin Husaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I had forbidden you from three things: I had forbidden you from visiting graves, but now I command you to visit them, for visiting them brings admonition and lesson. And I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days, now eat and store it. And I had forbidden you from making nabidh (fermented drink) in certain vessels, now drink from any kind of vessel, just do not drink what is unlawful. In another narration: I had forbidden you from making nabidh in pitchers, now you may make nabidh in any vessel, just avoid every intoxicating drink.

(Second chain) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I had forbidden you from visiting graves, but now Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has been permitted to visit his mother's grave. And I had forbidden you from using certain vessels, whereas vessels themselves cannot make anything lawful or unlawful (so you may use them).

A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), except that it states: I had forbidden you from (using) utensils, so now you may drink from them, but abstain from every intoxicating thing.
