Sunan Abi Dawud 2021 (Book 11, Hadith 301) #22312
Following Instructions of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how the people of the house of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) followed his instructions to provide Nabidh to the public, and not because of their niggardliness or need.

Bakr bin 'Abd Allah said "A man said to Ibn 'Abbas "What about the people of this House? They supply Nabidh to the public while their cousins provide milk, honey and mush (sawiq). Is this due to their niggardliness or need? Ibn 'Abbas replied "This is due neither to our niggardliness nor to our need, but the Apostle of Allaahﷺ (once) entered upon us on his riding beast and 'Usamah bin Zaid was sitting behind him. The Apostle of Allaahﷺ called for drink. Nabidh was brought to him and he drank from it and gave its left over to Usamah bin Zaid who drank from it. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ then said "You have done a good and handsome deed and do it in a similar way . It is due to this we are doing so, we do not want to change what the Apostle of Allaah ﷺhad said.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا بَالُ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ يَسْقُونَ النَّبِيذَ وَبَنُو عَمِّهِمْ يَسْقُونَ اللَّبَنَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَالسَّوِيقَ أَبُخْلٌ بِهِمْ أَمْ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا بِنَا مِنْ بُخْلٍ وَلاَ بِنَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَلَكِنْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَخَلْفَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَرَابٍ فَأُتِيَ بِنَبِيذٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَدَفَعَ فَضْلَهُ إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَحْنُ هَكَذَا لاَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُغَيِّرَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about following instructions given by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It tells us that when he visited the house of his companions, he asked for a drink called Nabidh and drank from it before giving it to Usamah bin Zaid who also drank from it. After this, he praised them for their good deed and instructed them to continue doing so in a similar way. The people of the house followed this instruction even after his death as they wanted to keep what he said unchanged. This hadith teaches us that we should always follow instructions given by our elders and respect their words even after they are gone as they come from experience and wisdom. We should also be generous with our resources like these companions were with their Nabidh, milk, honey and mush so that everyone can benefit from them equally without any discrimination or biasness.
