أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، - يَعْنِي الأَزْرَقَ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُنْبَذُ لَهُ فِي سِقَاءٍ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ سِقَاءٌ نَنْبِذُ لَهُ فِي تَوْرِ بِرَامٍ . قَالَ وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالنَّقِيرِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ .
Jabir Narrated from:
(Fruit) would be soaked for the Messenger of Allah [SAW] in a water skin, and if he did not have a water skin, it would be made for him in a small vessel of stone. And the Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade Ad-Dubba' (gourds), An-Naqir, and Al-Muzaffat.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5648
This hadith about Nabidh is narrated from Jabir. It says that fruit would be soaked for the Messenger of Allah SAW in a water-skin. If there was no water-skin, it would be made for him in a small vessel of stone. The narration then states that the Messenger of Allah SAW forbade Ad-Dubba, An-Naqir, and Al-Muzaffat. The message is simple and narrow: it tells us what was commonly used, what was used when that was not available, and which vessels were forbidden. This is useful for searches like Nabidh in water-skin hadith, fruit soaked for the Prophet, and forbidden Nabidh containers.
What we learn from this hadith
- Nabidh was made for the Prophet SAW in a water-skin according to this report.
- A small stone vessel was used when no water-skin was available.
- Ad-Dubba, An-Naqir, and Al-Muzaffat were forbidden in the narration.
