Obey Allah's commands regarding what we consume .

This hadith discusses the prohibition of selling and trading wine as well as the permissibility of drinking Nabidh. Wine is known in Arabic as khamr which has been prohibited by Allah in the Quran. Ibn Abbas was asked about this matter by some people who claimed to be Muslims. He then asked them if they were indeed Muslims to make sure that they knew what was permissible or not according to Islamic teachings. He then informed them that it was not permissible for them to sell or trade wine because it has been prohibited by Allah in His book. However, he also mentioned that there is a type of drink called nabidh which is allowed for consumption according to Islamic teachings. This drink consists of raisins steeped in water overnight and can be consumed until morning time when it should be thrown away afterwards. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself drank this beverage on his journey with his companions who prepared it for him using green pitcher, hollow stump and gourd containers before he commanded them to use a waterskin instead which became their preferred container for making nabidh thereafter.
