Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 165

It was narrated that Abu Mas’ud said: “The Prophet became thirsty around the Ka’bah so he called for a drink. Some Nabidh was brought in a water skin and he smelled it and frowned. He said: ‘Bring me a bucket of Zamzam (water).’ He poured it over it and drank some. A man said: ‘Is it unlawful, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘No.'”

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ عَطِشَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ مِنَ السِّقَايَةِ فَشَمَّهُ فَقَطَّبَ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ عَلَىَّ بِذَنُوبٍ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏”‏ لاَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا خَبَرٌ ضَعِيفٌ لأَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ يَمَانٍ انْفَرَدَ بِهِ دُونَ أَصْحَابِ سُفْيَانَ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ يَمَانٍ لاَ يُحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِهِ لِسُوءِ حِفْظِهِ وَكَثْرَةِ خَطَئِهِ ‏.‏
