Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 198

It was narrated from Ibn Al-Dailami that his father said: “We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have grapevines; what should we do with them?’ He said: ‘Make raisins.’ We said: ‘What should we do with the raisins?’ He said: ‘Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, and soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning.’ I said: ‘Can we leave it until it gets stronger?’ He said: ‘Do not put it in clay vessels, rather put it in skins, for if it stays there for a long time, it will turn into vinegar.'”

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو عُمَيْرِ بْنُ النَّحَّاسِ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَنَا أَعْنَابًا فَمَاذَا نَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ ‏”‏ زَبِّبُوهَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا فَمَا نَصْنَعُ بِالزَّبِيبِ قَالَ ‏”‏ انْبِذُوهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ وَاشْرَبُوهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَانْبِذُوهُ عَلَى عَشَائِكُمْ وَاشْرَبُوهُ عَلَى غَدَائِكُمْ وَانْبِذُوهُ فِي الشِّنَانِ وَلاَ تَنْبِذُوهُ فِي الْقِلاَلِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَأَخَّرَ صَارَ خَلاًّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 198

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
