757 Anas (radiyallahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to breathe three times in the course of a drink (he used to drink in three gulps).[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
758 Ibn `Abbas (radiyallahu anhuma) reported: 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).”[At-Tirmidhi].
759 Abu Qatadah (radiyallahu anhu) reported: The Prophet ﷺ forbade breathing into the vessel while drinking.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
760 Anas (radiyallahu anhu) reported: Milk mixed with water was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. On his right side was sitting a bedouin and on his left was sitting Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu). 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.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
761 Sahl bin Sa`d (radiyallahu anhu) reported: A drink was brought to 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.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
