Sunan Abi Dawud 3695 (Book 27, Hadith 27) #23985
Drinking from Containers

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised not to drink from certain containers and if the drink ferments, it should be lightened by infusing water or poured away.

A man of the deputation of 'Abd al-Qais who came to the Prophet said - the narrator 'Awf thinks that his name was Qais bin al-Nu'man: The Prophet said: Do not drink from hollowed stumps, vessel smeared with pitch, pumpkins, and green jars, but drink from a skin which is tied with string. If the drink ferments, lighten it by infusing water. If you are helpless, then pour it away.
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْقَمُوصِ، زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، كَانَ مِنَ الْوَفْدِ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ يَحْسِبُ عَوْفٌ أَنَّ اسْمَهُ قَيْسُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي نَقِيرٍ وَلاَ مُزَفَّتٍ وَلاَ دُبَّاءٍ وَلاَ حَنْتَمٍ وَاشْرَبُوا فِي الْجِلْدِ الْمُوكَإِ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنِ اشْتَدَّ فَاكْسِرُوهُ بِالْمَاءِ فَإِنْ أَعْيَاكُمْ فَأَهْرِيقُوهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about drinking and the containers one should use for it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised not to drink from hollowed stumps, vessels smeared with pitch, pumpkins, and green jars as these are not suitable for drinking. Instead, he suggested using a skin which is tied with string as this is more hygienic and safe for consumption. If the drink ferments due to any reason then one should lighten it by infusing water in it or pour it away if they are helpless in doing so. This hadith teaches us about hygiene and safety when consuming drinks as well as being mindful of what we consume in our daily lives.
