(1) (B) only: “his rejection of it.” (2) (H), (S), and (R): “and every intoxicant.” (3) This hadith was discussed earlier in this volume, pp. 400–409. (4) This is the reading in (A) and (B); all other manuscripts read: “on the basis of a hadith.” (5) Omitted from (N), (M), and (W). (6) “The chapter, on the authority of Ibn Masʿūd.” (7) (A) and (B): “a fruit,” which is a corruption. (8) (N), (M), and (W): “and the majority deem [it] weak”; (A) and (B): “and among the majority, [some] deem [it] weak.” (9) The hadith of Abd Allāh ibn Masʿūd—may Allah be pleased with him—is found in *Sunan Abī Dāwūd*, 1/54 (Book of Purification, Chapter on Ablution with Nabīdh). Its text states that Abd Allāh ibn Masʿūd reported that, on the Night of the Jinn, the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—asked him, “What is in your waterskin?” He replied, “Nabīdh.” The Prophet said, “A wholesome date and purifying water.” The hadith is also found in *Sunan al-Tirmidhī*, 1/59–60 (Book of Purification, Chapter on What Has Been Reported Concerning Ablution with Nabīdh). Al-Tirmidhī said: “This hadith has only been narrated from Abū Zayd, from Abd Allāh, from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Abū Zayd is unknown to hadith scholars, and no narration of his other than this hadith is known.” The hadith is also found in *Sunan Ibn Mājah*, 1/135 (Book of Purification and Its Sunnahs, Chapter on Ablution with Nabīdh), and *al-Musnad* (al-Maʿārif ed.), 5/309–310. Shaykh Ahmad Shākir—may Allah have mercy on him—said: “Its chain of transmission is weak,” 6/146–147.
