Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ بَسَّامٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيذِ، قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ رضى الله عنه يُنْبَذُ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَشْرَبُهُ غُدْوَةً وَيُنْبَذُ لَهُ غُدْوَةً فَيَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ .
Translation
Suwayd reported to us: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Bassam, who said: I asked Abu Jaʿfar about nabidh. He said: ʿAli ibn al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) would have it prepared for him at night and drink it in the morning; and have it prepared for him in the morning and drink it at night.
Translation notes
Nabidh is an infusion made by steeping dates or raisins in water.
