وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُنْبَذُ لَهُ الزَّبِيبُ فِي السِّقَاءِ فَيَشْرَبُهُ يَوْمَهُ وَالْغَدَ وَبَعْدَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِسَاءُ الثَّالِثَةِ شَرِبَهُ وَسَقَاهُ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَىْءٌ أَهْرَاقَهُ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2004d
This hadith about Nabidh from raisins gives another report from Ibn Abbas. Nabidh was prepared for the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) from raisins in a waterskin. He drank it on that day, the next day, and the day after that. When evening of the third day came, he drank it and gave it to others. If anything remained, he threw it away. The text teaches a clear pattern: prepare the drink, use it within the named time, share it, and do not keep what remains after that. The hadith does not add a broad rule in the translation, so the explanation should stay with the stated practice.
