Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1997e
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ زَعَمُوا ذَاكَ . قُلْتُ أَنَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ قَدْ زَعَمُوا ذَاكَ .
Thabit Narrated from:
I said to Ibn 'Umar that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had forbidden the preparation of Nabidh in the green pitcher (besmeared with pitch). He said: This is what they stated. I said: Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbid this? He said: They said so.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1997e
This hadith about Nabidh in a green pitcher is a short exchange between Thabit and Ibn Umar. Thabit says to Ibn Umar that Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade preparing Nabidh in the green pitcher. Ibn Umar answers, “This is what they stated.” When Thabit asks again whether the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade it, Ibn Umar gives the same careful answer. The wording is important because it shows caution in reporting. The narration is still tied to the Sahih Muslim Nabidh vessels topic, but its special feature is the careful style of reply. It does not give a new list of vessels. It records the question and Ibn Umar’s measured answer.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration shows caution when speaking about a reported prophetic statement.
- The question is about Nabidh in the green pitcher.
- No new vessel list or added detail is given in this wording.
