Sahih Muslim Book 23, Hadith Number 4947.

Chapter : It is forbidden to prepare Nabidh is varnished jar, gourd, green pitcher, and hollow stumps.

Sa’id b. Musayyib reported: I heard ‘Abdullah b ‘Umar saying this near the pulpit while pointing towards the pulpit of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him): A group of the tribe of ‘Abd al-Qais came to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and asked him about (vessels) which might (be used for preparing Nabidh and) drinking in them. He (the Holy Prophet) forbade them (to use) gourd, hollow stump, vessel besmeared with pitch. I said to him: Abu Muhammad, (what about) varnished jar? and we think he had forgotten to mention the word ‘varnished jar”. Thereupon he said: I did not hear it from him on that day, i.e. from ‘Abdullah b. ‘Umar, and he hated that (i.e. preparation of Nabidh in gourd).
