Etiquette of Drinking Water

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to breathe three times in the course of a drink (he used to drink in three gulps). <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

عن أنس رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يتنفس في الشراب ثلاثاً‏.‏((متفق عليه))

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Do not drink in one gulp like a camel, but in two or three (gulps). Mention the Name of Allah (i.e., say Bismillah) when you start drinking and praise Him (i.e., say Al-hamdu lillah) after you have finished (drinking)." <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.

وعن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏

‏لا تشربوا واحداً كشرب البعير، ولكن اشربوا مثنى وثلاث، وسموا إذا أنتم شربتم،واحمدوا إذا أنتم رفعتم‏

‏‏.‏((رواه الترمذي))

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade breathing into the vessel while drinking. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن أبى قتادة رضى الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى أن يتنفس في الإناء‏.‏‏((متفق عليه))

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Milk mixed with water was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). On his right side was sitting a bedouin and on his left was sitting Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him). He (ﷺ) drank from it and handed the rest to the bedouin saying, "One who is on the right has preference, then again the one who is on the right." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن أنس رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتى بلبن قد شيب بماء، وعن يمينه أعرابي، وعن يساره أبو بكر رضى الله عنه ، فشرب، ثم أعطى الأعرابي وقال‏:‏ ‏

‏الأيمن فالأيمن‏

‏.((متفق عليه))

Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

A drink was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he drank (some) from it. On his right was a boy and on his left were some elderly people. He (ﷺ) said to the boy, "Would you permit me to give rest of this drink to these on my left?" The boy said: "O Messenger of Allah, I would certainly not give preference to anyone in anything that might come to me from you." So he (ﷺ) handed over the rest of the drink to him. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن سهل بن سعد رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أتى بشراب، فشرب منه وعن يمينه غلام، وعن يساره أشياخ، فقال للغلام‏:‏ ‏

‏أتأذن لي أن أعطى هؤلاء‏.‏‏؟‏‏

‏ فقال الغلام‏:‏ لا والله ، لا أوثر بنصيبي منك أحدا، فتله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في يده‏.‏((متفق عليه)) ‏
