أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي جُرَيْرَةً أَنْتَبِذُ فِيهَا حَتَّی إِذَا غَلَی وَسَکَنَ شَرِبْتُهُ قَالَ مُذْ کَمْ هَذَا شَرَابُکَ قُلْتُ مُذْ عِشْرُونَ سَنَةً أَوْ قَالَ مُذْ أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً قَالَ طَالَمَا تَرَوَّتْ عُرُوقُکَ مِنْ الْخَبَثِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5709
It was narrated that Qais bin Wahban said: “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘I have a small jar in which I make Nabidh and when it has bubbled and settled down again, I drink it.’ He said: ‘For how long you have been drinking that?’ He said: ‘For twenty years” — or he said: ‘for forty years.’ He said: ‘For a long time you have been quenching your thirst with something forbidden.” (Da’if)
