Sunan an-Nasai 5755 (Book 51, Hadith 217) #20288
Abstaining from New Drinks

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Ibn Mas'ud's lifestyle of avoiding new drinks and only drinking water and Sawiq (barley gruel).

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said: "The people have invented new drinks and I do not know what they are. I have not drunk anything for 20 years (or he said: 40 years) except water and Sawiq (barley gruel), and he did not mention Nabidh".
أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَحْدَثَ النَّاسُ أَشْرِبَةً مَا أَدْرِي مَا هِيَ فَمَا لِي شَرَابٌ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً إِلاَّ الْمَاءُ وَالسَّوِيقُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّبِيذَ

This hadith is narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. He said that he has not drunk anything for 20 or 40 years except water and Sawiq, which is a type of barley gruel. This shows us that he was abstaining from new drinks, which could be interpreted as a form of I'tikaf or spiritual retreat. He also did not mention Nabidh, which is an alcoholic drink made from dates or raisins. This hadith teaches us to be mindful about what we consume and to avoid indulging in things that are not beneficial for our health or spirituality. We should strive to make healthy choices when it comes to food and drink, as well as other aspects of our lives.
