حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي فَزَارَةَ الْعَبْسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْجِنِّ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلَانِ وَقَالَا نَشْهَدُ الْفَجْرَ مَعَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ مَعِي مَاءٌ وَلَكِنْ مَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ فِيهَا نَبِيذٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمْرَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَمَاءٌ طَهُورٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4296
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: On the night of the jinn, two of them stayed behind and said: We want to pray Fajr with you, O Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) said to me: Do you have any water? I said: I do not have any water but I have a vessel in which there is some nabeedh. The Prophet (PBUH) said: 'Good dates and dean water." And he did wudoo'.
