[Machine] To Ibn Abbas, he (the Prophet) pointed out that Ibn Muawiyah offers water and honey, while the family of Fulan offers milk, and you (referring to Ibn Abbas and his companions) offer wine. Is it because you are stingy or in need? Ibn Abbas replied, "We are neither stingy nor in need. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and his companion Osama bin Zaid was with him. So we offered him this wine and he drank from it and said, 'This is how you should do it.'"

While I was sitting along with Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) 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 said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact) that Allah's Apostle ﷺ came here riding his she-came, and there was sitting behind him Usama. 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) said: You have done Food, You have done well. So continue doing like it So we do not like to change what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commanded us to do.

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 وَلاَ بُخْلٍ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَخَلْفَهُ أُسَامَةُ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ نَبِيذٍ فَشَرِبَ وَسَقَى فَضْلَهُ أُسَامَةَ وَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتُمْ وَأَجْمَلْتُمْ كَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا فَلاَ نُرِيدُ تَغْيِيرَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

[Machine] "The family of Muawiya drink water and honey, while the family of Fulan drink milk. And you all drink wine? Is it because of stinginess or necessity?" Ibn Abbas replied, "We are not stingy nor in need. However, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, and his servant, Usama ibn Zaid, followed him. So, he asked us for some drink, and we gave him this, meaning the drink of the bearer (wine). He drank from it and said, 'You have done well, do like this.'"
