Zadhan Narrated from:
I Asked Ibn 'Umar About What Containers The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Prohibited. He Informed Us In Your Language, And He Explained It To Us In Our Language. He Said: "The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Prohibited Al-Hantamah, And It Is An Earthenware Container, And He Prohibited Ad-Dubba', And It Is Gourd, And He Prohibited An-Naqir, And It Is The Trunk Of A Date-Palm That Is Hollowed Out Or Carved, And He Prohibited Al-Muzaffat, And It Is Coated With Pitch. And He Ordered That Nabidh Be Prepared In Water-Skins." He Said: There Are Narrations On This Topic From 'Umar, 'Ali, Ibn 'Abbas, Abu Sa'Eed, Abu Hurairah, 'Abdur-Rahman Bin Ya'Mur, Samurah, Anas, 'Aishah, 'Imran Bin Husain, 'A'Idh Bin 'Amr, Al-Hakam Al-Ghifari, And Maimunah.[Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Sahih.
[1] Ad-Dubbā' is the gourd container, Al-Muzaffat is a bowl coated with pitch, Al-Hantam is a type of earthenware vessel whose description is obscure, and An-Naqīr is a piece of date-palm trunk hollowed into a bowl.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1868In-book reference : Book 26, Hadith 8English translation : Vol. 3, Book 24, Hadith 1868
