Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5723
This narration from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab speaks about At-Tila, or thickened grape juice. He said that when At-Tila has been cooked and reduced to one-third, then there is nothing wrong with it. The main point is not a broad discussion of all drinks. It is about this specific cooked grape juice and the point at which it has reduced. People searching for a hadith about At-Tila often want to know what the text says about one-third remaining. This narration answers that directly. It uses a simple measure: when it is cooked down to one-third, Sa'eed said there is no harm in it.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration gives a clear measure for cooked At-Tila.
- It connects permissibility in this report to reduction to one-third.
- The focus remains on the condition of the drink, not on guesswork.
