Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1997f
This narration gives a clear question and answer. A person asked Ibn Umar whether the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade preparing Nabidh in a green pitcher. Ibn Umar answered, “Yes.” Tawus then said that he heard it from Ibn Umar himself. The hadith is useful for searches like Ibn Umar Nabidh jar hadith, green pitcher Nabidh hadith, and Sahih Muslim Nabidh vessels. Its message is narrow and exact: the question is about one vessel, and the answer confirms the ban reported from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The wording also gives a direct witness from Tawus, who says he personally heard Ibn Umar make that statement.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Umar confirms the reported ban with a clear answer.
- The question is specifically about Nabidh in a green pitcher.
- Tawus states that he heard this answer from Ibn Umar.
