حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَى أَنْ يُشْرَبَ مِنْ فَمِ السِّقَاءِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade drinking (directly) from the mouth of a water skin.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَقَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا ،‏‏‏‏ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَ.

“I drew water from Zamzam for the Prophet (ﷺ) and he drank standing up.” I ('Asim) mention that to 'Ikrimah and he swore by Allah that he did not do that.

‘Asim narrated from Sha’bi, from Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما who said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَدَّةٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهَا كَبْشَةُ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا قِرْبَةٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَطَعَتْ فَمَ الْقِرْبَةِ،‏‏‏‏ تَبْتَغِي بَرَكَةَ مَوْضِعِ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon her, and there was a water skin hanging there. He drank from it while standing, and she cut off the mouth of the water skin, seeking the blessing of the place where the mouth of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had been.

It was narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi ‘Amrah, from a grandmother of his who was called Kabshah Al-Ansariyyah رضی اللہ عنہا , that

حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَى عَنِ الشُّرْبِ قَائِمًا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade drinking while standing up.

It was narrated from Anas رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلَبَنٍ قَدْ شِيبَ بِمَاءٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَشَرِبَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَعْطَى الْأَعْرَابِيَّ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْأَيْمَنُ فَالْأَيْمَنُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought some milk mixed with water. On his right there was a Bedouin and on his left was Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ. He drank some, then he gave it to the Bedouin and said: “Pass it around to the right.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَبَنٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَسْقِيَ خَالِدًا؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُوثِرَ بِسُؤْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَحَدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَشَرِبَ،‏‏‏‏ وَشَرِبَ خَالِدٌ.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought some milk. On his right was Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما and on his left was Khalid bin Walid رضی اللہ عنہ . The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما : ‘Will you permit me to give Khalid to drink?’ Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘I would not like to give preference to anyone over myself when it comes to the leftover drink of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما took it and drank some, then Khalid رضی اللہ عنہ drank some.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُبَابٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَمِّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا شَرِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَتَنَفَّسْ فِي الْإِنَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فَلْيُنَحِّ الْإِنَاءَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ لِيَعُدْ إِنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When anyone of you drinks, let him not breathe into the vessel. If he wants to continue drinking, let him move the vessel away (in order to breathe) then bring it back, if he wants.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ التَّنَفُّسِ فِي الْإِنَاءِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade breathing into the vessel.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُنْفَخَ فِي الْإِنَاءِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade blowing into the vessel.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْفُخُ فِي الشَّرَابِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not blow into his drinks.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَدِّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَشْرَبَ عَلَى بُطُونِنَا وَهُوَ الْكَرْعُ،‏‏‏‏ وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَغْتَرِفَ بِالْيَدِ الْوَاحِدَةِ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَلَغْ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمَا يَلَغُ الْكَلْبُ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِالْيَدِ الْوَاحِدَةِ كَمَا يَشْرَبُ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِاللَّيْلِ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ حَتَّى يُحَرِّكَهُ،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنَاءً مُخَمَّرًا،‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِنَاءٍ يُرِيدُ التَّوَاضُعَ،‏‏‏‏ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَسَنَاتٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ إِنَاءُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام إِذْ طَرَحَ الْقَدَحَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ،‏‏‏‏ أُفٍّ هَذَا مَعَ الدُّنْيَا .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to drink while (lying) on our bellies, lapping up water, and he forbade us to drink from one hand only. He said: ‘None of you should lap up water as a dog does, and he should not drink water from one hand as the people with whom Allah is angry do, and he should not drink from a vessel at night without stirring it first, unless the vessel was covered. Whoever drinks from his hand when he is able to drink from a vessel, with the intention of humility, Allah will record good deeds equivalent to the number of fingers for him. It (i.e., the hand) is the vessel of ‘Eisa bin Maryam, (as) when he threw away the cup and said: ‘Ugh! That belongs to this world.’”

It was narrated from ‘Asim bin Muhammad bin Zaid bin ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما , from his father, that his grandfather said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَبُو بَكْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُوَ يُحَوِّلُ الْمَاءَ فِي حَائِطِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَاسْقِنَا،‏‏‏‏ وَإِلَّا كَرَعْنَا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عِنْدِي مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ،‏‏‏‏ فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ إِلَى الْعَرِيشِ،‏‏‏‏ فَحَلَبَ لَهُ شَاةً عَلَى مَاءٍ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَشَرِبَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ بِصَاحِبِهِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon a man among the Ansar when he was watering his garden. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: ‘If you have any water that has been kept overnight in a water skin, then give us some to drink, otherwise we will drink by putting out mouths in the basin.’ He said: ‘I have water that has been kept in a water skin. So he went and we went with him, to the shelter, where he milked a sheep for him and (mixed it with) the water that had been kept overnight in a water skin. He drank from it, then he did likewise for his Companion who was with him.”

It was narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ لَيْثٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرَرْنَا عَلَى بِرْكَةٍ فَجَعَلْنَا نَكْرَعُ فِيهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَكْرَعُوا،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ اغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ اشْرَبُوا فِيهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ إِنَاءٌ أَطْيَبَ مِنَ الْيَدِ .

“We passed by a pond and we started to lap up water from it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do not lap up the water, rather wash your hands then drink from them, for there is no better vessel than the hand.’”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ،‏‏‏‏ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ سَاقِي الْقَوْمِ آخِرُهُمْ شُرْبًا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The one who serves water to others should be the last one to drink from it.”

It was narrated from Abu Qatadah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْدَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدَحٌ مِنْ قَوَارِيرَ يَشْرَبُ فِيهِ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a glass cup from which he would drink.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said
