BENEFITS OF NABITH FOR IFTAAR AND SEHRI
Nabeez or Nabidh was a drink that was consumed by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam) and has a number of health benefits as well as the added benefit of following the sunnah. There are references to many ahadith that reference how Nabith was the Prophet’s favorite drink and instructions for how to consume it.
References to Nabith in Prophetic Traditions
There are a number of hadiths where the Prophetic drink Nabeez has been mentioned.
In one Hadith, Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrates: We were with the Prophet (Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam). He asked for something to drink. One of the companions asked: O Prophet of Allah, shall we not give you nabeez to drink? The Prophet (Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam) said yes, why not! This companion left quickly and came back with a cup of nabeez. The Prophet (Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam) said, why didn’t you cover the cup even though it may have been with a stick. Thereafter he drank from it.” Sahih Muslim
In another hadith, Ibn Abbas narrated that Nabeez was prepared for Prophet Muhammad (Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam) in his waterskin. Shu’ba said: It was the night of Monday. He drank it on Monday and on Tuesday up to the afternoon, and If anything was left out of it he gave it to his servant or poured it out.” Sahih Muslim

A sunnah drink of our Nabi Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam
Nabith is a Sunnah drink used in Islamic medicine and healing which is so easy to make yet it’s tasty, delicious and healthy whilst having Shifa (cure) from many ailments along with nutritional benefits.

NABITH SHOULD BE CONSUMED WITHIN A MAX OF 3 DAYS.
One important fact to note about Nabeez is that it should be consumed within 2-3 days and not left to sit longer than that. The reason behind consuming this Prophetic drink in that time frame is that after that time, it starts to ferment and begins the process of turning into alcohol.
