نبيذ الزبيب
Raisins soaked in water overnight and drunk the next one to two days — discarded before it could ferment into an intoxicant, which was strictly avoided.
كَانَ يُنْبَذُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ، فَيَشْرَبُهُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ وَاللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي تَجِيءُ وَالْغَدَ وَاللَّيْلَةَ الْأُخْرَى وَالْغَدَ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ، فَإِنْ بَقِيَ شَيْءٌ سَقَاهُ الْخَادِمَ أَوْ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَصُبَّ
“A drink would be prepared for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by soaking [dates or raisins] at the start of the night; he would drink it that day, the following night, and the next day until 'Asr — whatever remained after that was given away or poured out.” (meaning, not a literal translation)
Ibn al-Qayyim highlights the strict timeframe as intentional: discarding the drink before natural fermentation could turn it intoxicating — an early, practical distinction between a fruit-infused drink and alcohol, which remains categorically prohibited regardless of source.
