Jabir said: We were with Prophet ﷺ and he asked for something to drink. A man from the company asked: Should we not give you nabidh (drink made from dates) to drink ? He replied: Yes. The man went quickly and bought a cup of nabidh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why did you not cover it up even by putting a piece of wood on it ? Abu Dawud said: Al-Asmais version has: You put it on it. . .
