Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 3505

25. 'Musnad of ''Abdullah bin al-''Abbas bin ''Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet'

مسند احمد

3505
Musnad Ahmed
Its isnad is saheeh, Muslim (1316)]
It was narrated from Bakr bin 'Abdullah that
A Bedouin said to Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه): Why is it that the family of Mu'awiyah give water and honey to drink, and the family of So and so give milk, and you give nabeedh? Is it because you are miserly or poor? Ibn 'Abbas said: We are neither miserly nor poor, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us with Usamah bin Zaid riding behind him, and asked for something to drink, and we gave him some of this - meaning nabeedh in a waterskin - and he drank some of it and said: “You have done well; do like this."
