فضل القيام بالسقاية والثناء على أهلها واستحباب الشرب منها

وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَى بَنِي عَمِّكُمْ يَسْقُونَ الْعَسَلَ وَاللَّبَنَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَسْقُونَ النَّبِيذَ؟ أَمِنْ حَاجَةٍ بِكُمْ أَمْ مِنْ بُخْلٍ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، مَا بِنَا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَلَا بُخْلٍ، قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَخَلْفَهُ أُسَامَةُ، فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ نَبِيذٍ فَشَرِبَ، وَسَقَى فَضْلَهُ أُسَامَةَ، وَقَالَ: «أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ، كَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا» فَلَا نُرِيدُ تَغْيِيرَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

The virtue Supplying water nd praise for those who do that, and it is recommended to drink from it.

While I was sitting along with Ibn 'Abbas ( رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ) near the Ka'ba, there came a bedouin to him and said: What is the matter that I see that the progeny of your uncle supply honey and milk (as drink to the travellers), whereas you supply al-nabidh (water sweetened with dates)? Is it due to your poverty or due to your close-fistedness? Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact) that Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) came here riding his she-came, and there was sitting behind him Usama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ . He asked for water, and we gave him a cup full of nabidh and he drank it, and gave the remaining (part) to Usama; and he (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: You have done Food, You have done well. So continue doing like it So we do not like to change what Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) had commanded us to do.
