Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا قَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا شَأْنُ آلِ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَسْقُونَ الْمَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَآلُ فُلَانٍ يَسْقُونَ اللَّبَنَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَسْقُونَ النَّبِيذَ أَمِنْ بُخْلٍ بِكُمْ أَوْ حَاجَةٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا بِ
نَا بُخْلٌ وَلَا حَاجَةٌ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَنَا وَرَدِيفُهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَسَقَيْنَاهُ مِنْ هَذَا يَعْنِي نَبِيذَ السِّقَايَةِ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتُمْ هَكَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via Rawh, from Hammad, from Humayd, from Bakr ibn 'Abdullah — that a Bedouin said to Ibn 'Abbas: 'What is the matter with the family of Mu'awiya — they offer water and honey; and the family of so-and-so offer milk; yet you offer nabidh. Is it out of stinginess or need?' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'There is no stinginess or need on our part. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us with Usamah ibn Zayd riding behind him. He asked for a drink and we gave him from this — meaning the nabidh of the [Ka'bah] watering station [siqaya]. He drank from it and said: You have done well — continue doing thus.'
