أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ طَوْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْقَيْسِيِّ، - بَصْرِيٌّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ هُنَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ شَرِيكِ بْنِ زَبَّانَ، قَالَتْ لَقِيتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا بِالْخُرَيْبَةِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنِ الْعَكَرِ فَنَهَتْنِي عَنْهُ وَقَالَتِ انْبِذِي عَشِيَّةً وَاشْرَبِيهِ غُدْوَةً وَأَوْكِي عَلَيْهِ . وَنَهَتْنِي عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ .
It was narrated that Hunaidah bint Sharik bin Aban said: "I met 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, in Al-Khuraibah, and I asked her about the dregs and she forbade them to me and she said: 'Soak (the fruit) at night and drink it in the morning, and tie the vessel closed.' And she forbade me from using Ad-Dubba' (gourds), An-Naqir, Al-Muzaffat, and Al-Hantam."
