Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ، نَطْلَ النَّبِيذِ فِي النَّبِيذِ لِيَشْتَدَّ بِالنَّطْلِ .
Translation
Suwayd reported to us: ʿAbdullah informed us, from Maʿmar, from Qatadah, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, that he used to disapprove of putting the second extraction of nabidh into nabidh so that it would become stronger through that extraction.
Translation notes
Here naṭl refers to the later liquid drawn from the raisin infusion after the first clear portion has been removed; the report describes adding it to fresh nabidh to make it stronger.
