sahih· Darussalam

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:

“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was returning from the campaign of Tabuk, and had drawn close to Al-Madinah, he said: ‘In Al-Madinah there are people who, as you traveled and crossed valleys, were with you.’ They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, even though they are in Al-Madinah?’ He said: ‘Even though they were in Al-Madinah. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.’”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَدَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَقَوْمًا مَا سِرْتُمْ مِنْ مَسِيرٍ وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا إِلاَّ كَانُوا مَعَكُمْ فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَبَسَهُمُ الْعُذْرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had prohibited the fermentation of beverages in specific types of containers due to the impact that their materials have on accelerating the fermentation process.In this Hadith from Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade the consumption of drinks,” that is, drinks such as those made by soaking dates or raisins, commonly known as Nabidh, or other types of beverages, “in Hantam” — green clay jars — “and Dubba’” — a container made from a gourd that has been dried, hollowed out, and turned into a vessel in which beverages were prepared — “and Naqir” — a container hollowed out from the trunk of a palm tree.It is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that this prohibition was later abrogated. In Sahih Muslim, it is narrated from Buraydah Al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I had forbidden you from preparing Nabidh except in a waterskin, but now drink from any type of container — just do not drink anything intoxicating.” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) thus clarified that the reason for the prohibition is the intoxication itself, not the material from which the vessel is made.The Hadith also shows that drinking anything intoxicating is prohibited..
