وَأَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَحْوِهِ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ لَيْسَ بِالْمَشْهُورِ وَلاَ يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ وَالْمَشْهُورُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ خِلاَفُ حِكَايَتِهِ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5695
This entry says that a similar report was narrated from Abdul-Malik bin Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet. Then Abu Abdur-Rahman adds an important note: Abdul-Malik bin Nafi is not well known, his hadith is not used as proof, and what is famous from Ibn Umar goes against his report. The main value of this narration is the care shown in reporting. It is not only about the drink itself; it also shows that hadith scholars recorded concerns about narrators and compared reports. For readers, this hadith review note teaches caution. A similar wording is not accepted blindly when the narrator is not relied upon.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hadith reports are weighed by their chains and narrators.
- Abu Abdur-Rahman says Abdul-Malik bin Nafi is not used as proof.
- The note warns that a similar report may still need careful review.
