Sunan an-Nasai 5694 (Book 51, Hadith 156) #20227
Diluting Strong Drinks with Water

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) teaching people to dilute strong drinks with water.

Ibn 'Umar said: "While he was at the Rukn, I saw a man bring a cup to the Messenger of Allah SAW in which there was Nabidh. He gave the cup to him and he raised it to his mouth, but he found it to be strong, so he gave it back to him and a man among the people said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is it unlawful?' He said: 'Bring the man to me'. So he was brought to him. He took the cup from him and called for water. He poured it into the cup, which he raised to his mouth and frowned. Then he called for more water and poured it into it. Then he said: 'When these vessels become strong in taste, pour water on them to weaken them'."
أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْعَوَّامُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ نَبِيذٌ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الرُّكْنِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْقَدَحَ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَوَجَدَهُ شَدِيدًا فَرَدَّهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَىَّ بِالرَّجُلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ الْقَدَحَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ فِيهِ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَقَطَّبَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ أَيْضًا فَصَبَّهُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا اغْتَلَمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَوْعِيَةُ فَاكْسِرُوا مُتُونَهَا بِالْمَاءِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on how to consume strong drinks. He was offered a cup of Nabidh which was too strong for him to drink and he frowned upon it. He then instructed that when such vessels become too strong in taste, they should be diluted with water in order to weaken them. This teaches us that we should not consume anything that is too strong or unhealthy for our bodies and instead dilute it with water so as not to harm ourselves. It also teaches us moderation and self-control when consuming any type of food or drink. We should always be mindful of what we put into our bodies and make sure it does not cause any harm or damage in the long run.
