أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يُنْبَذَ فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ " وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ " .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5589
This hadith about soaked drinks mentions specific vessels: Ad-Dubba', Al-Muzaffat, An-Naqir, and Al-Hantam. Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger of Allah forbade soaking fruits in these containers, and the narration also states that every intoxicant is unlawful. The text connects drink preparation with the wider rule about intoxicants. For people searching about nabidh, soaked fruit drinks, or khamr in Islam, this hadith gives a careful boundary. The point is not only the fruit itself. It is also about how a drink is prepared and whether it becomes intoxicating. The final rule remains clear: every intoxicant is unlawful.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet forbade soaking fruits in named vessels in this narration.
- The hadith also states that every intoxicant is unlawful.
- Drink preparation can matter when it leads toward intoxication.
