Drinks

Mūsā ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, from al-Ashʿath ibn Sulaym, from Muʿāwiyah ibn Suwayd ibn Muqarrin, from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib, who said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven. He commanded us to visit the sick, follow funeral processions, invoke Allah’s mercy for someone who sneezes, accept invitations, spread greetings of peace, support the oppressed, and fulfill the request of someone who adjures us by oath. He forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink from silver—or he said, silver vessels—and to use mayāthir and qassī cloth, and to wear silk, brocade, and heavy silk.”

ʿAmr ibn ʿAbbās narrated to me: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Sālim Abū al-Naḍr, from ʿUmayr, the freedman of Umm al-Faḍl, from Umm al-Faḍl: “They were uncertain whether the Prophet ﷺ was fasting on the day of ʿArafah, so a cup of milk was sent to him, and he drank it.”

Saʿīd ibn Abī Maryam narrated to us: Abū Ghassān narrated to us; he said: Abū Ḥāzim narrated to me, from Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: An Arab woman was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, so he instructed Abū Usayd al-Sāʿidī to send for her, and he did. She came and stayed among the palm groves of Banū Sāʿidah. The Prophet ﷺ went out to her and entered where she was. He found a woman with her head lowered. When the Prophet ﷺ spoke to her, she said, “I seek refuge in Allah from you.” He replied, “I have granted you refuge from me.” They asked her, “Do you know who this is?” She said, “No.” They said, “This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he has come to propose to you.” She said, “I was more miserable than that.”

That day the Prophet ﷺ came and sat with his companions in the portico of Banū Sāʿidah. He said, “Give us a drink, Sahl.” I brought them this cup and served them from it. Sahl brought out that very cup for us, and we drank from it. He said: Later, ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz asked him to give it to him, and he gave it to him.

Al-Ḥasan ibn Mudrik narrated to us; he said: Yaḥyā ibn Ḥammād narrated to me: Abū ʿAwānah informed us, from ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal, who said: “I saw the Prophet’s ﷺ cup with Anas ibn Mālik. It had split, so he had it joined with silver.” He said: “It was a fine, broad wooden cup.” Anas said, “I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this cup more times than I can count.” Ibn Sīrīn said that it had an iron band, and Anas wanted to put a gold or silver band in its place. Abū Ṭalḥah said to him, “Do not alter anything the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made,” so he left it as it was.

Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd narrated to us: Jarīr narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, who said: Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd narrated to me, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh (may Allah be pleased with them both), this report. He said: “You saw me with the Prophet ﷺ when the afternoon prayer was due and we had no water except a little that remained. It was put in a vessel, and the Prophet ﷺ was brought it. He put his hand into it, spread his fingers, then said, ‘Come, people who need to perform ablution! The blessing is from Allah.’ I saw water gushing from between his fingers. The people performed ablution and drank. I made sure to take as much of it into my stomach as I could, for I knew it was a blessing.” I asked Jābir, “How many were you that day?” He said, “One thousand four hundred.”

ʿAmr also transmitted it from Jābir. Ḥuṣayn and ʿAmr ibn Murrah said, from Sālim, from Jābir: “One thousand five hundred.” Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab also transmitted it from Jābir.
