Suhayrah bint Jaifar says: We performed Hajj, then we returned to Madinah and came to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her). We found women from Kufa present with her. They said to us: If you wish, you may ask questions and we will listen, or if you wish, we will ask questions and you listen. We said: You ask questions. They inquired about matters related to husband and wife and menstruation, and then they asked about nabidh (a drink) made in pitchers (and jars, etc.). Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O people of Iraq! You have asked repeatedly about nabidh made in pitchers. There is no harm for you in cooking dates, then crushing them by hand, straining them, and putting them in a waterskin, then tying its strap. When it becomes pleasant, drink it and give it to your husband to drink as well.
