Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1997i
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، يَقُولُ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ نَبِيذِ الْجَرِّ وَالدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ قَالَ نَعَمْ
Tawus Narrated from:
I was sitting with Ibn 'Umar when a man came to him, and said: Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbid the preparation of Nabidh in a green pitcher (besmeared with pitch), in varnished jar and in gourd? Thereupon he said: Yes.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1997i
This narration places Tawus with Ibn Umar when a man came and asked a clear question. The man asked whether the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade preparing Nabidh in a green pitcher, a varnished jar, and a gourd. Ibn Umar answered, “Yes.” The hadith is a strong match for searches such as Sahih Muslim Nabidh vessels, green pitcher Nabidh hadith, and Nabidh in gourd and varnished jar. The report does not discuss other drink issues. It only confirms the three named vessels in the question. The simple wording helps readers see the point without confusion: the Prophet’s prohibition is reported for those vessels in this narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The question names three vessels, and Ibn Umar confirms them.
- The report is about preparing Nabidh, not every drink practice.
- The narration keeps the teaching focused on the named vessels.
