Sunan an-Nasai 5566 — Soak Each Drink Ingredient Alone

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5566

This Hadith gives both a prohibition and a simple way to act. The Messenger of Allah said not to soak Az-Zahuw and ripe dates together, and not to soak Al-Busr and raisins together. Then he said to soak each one of them on its own. This makes the teaching easy to understand. The Hadith does not only say what to avoid; it also gives the safer practice: keep each ingredient separate. For readers searching for the phrase soak each one on its own, this narration is a clear guide about nabidh preparation and avoiding the mixed combinations named in the text.
