The Book on Drinks

Narrated Al-Jarud bin Al-'Ala':

"The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited drinking while standing." And there are narrations on this topic from Abu Sa'eed, Abu Hurairah, and Anas. And this Hadith is Hasan Gharib. This Hadith was reported from other narrators, from Sa'eed, from Qatadah, from Abu Muslim, from Al-Jarud, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Muslim's wandering (animal) stirs the Fire." Al-Jarud bin Al-Mu'alla is called Ibn Al-'Al' but what is correct is Al-Mu'alla.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) drank from Zamzam while he was standing." He said: There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, Sa'd, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr and 'Aishah. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated 'Amr bin Shu'aib:

From his father, from his grandfather who said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drinking while standing and sitting." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

That the Prophet (ﷺ) would breathe three times in the vessel and say: "It is more wholesome and thirst quenching." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib. Hisham Ad-Dastawa'i reported it from Abu 'Isam, from Anas.

Narrated 'Azrah bin Thabit:

From Thumamah, from Anas that: "The Prophet (ﷺ) would breathe three times in the vessel." Another chain from Anas bin Malik: "The Prophet (ﷺ) would breathe three times in the vessel." He said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Let none of you drink all at once like the camel. But drink two or three times, mentioning Allah's Name when you drink, and praising Him when you (finish)." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Gharib. Yazid bin Sinan Al-Jazari is Abu Farwah Ar-Ruhawi.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

"When the Prophet (ﷺ) drank, he would breathe two times." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib, we do not know of it except as a narration of Rishdin bin Kuraib. He said: I asked [Abu Muhammad] 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman about Rishdin bin Kuraib: "Is he stronger (in narration), or Muhammad bin Kuraib?" He said: "Neither are better to me. Rishdin bin Kuraib is preferred over them to me." He said: I asked Muhammad bin Isma'il about this, so he said: "Muhammad bin Kuraib is preferred over Rishdin bin Kuraib." To me, the correct view is what Abu Muhammad 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: Rishdin bin Kuraib is more preferred and he is elder. He lived to see Ibn 'Abbas, and they are brothers, and they both have Munkar narrations in their reports."

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al Khudri :

That the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited blowing into the drink. A man said: "What about if one sees something floating in the vessel?" He said: "Spill it out (removing that)." He said: "I can not drink in one breath." He said: "Then remove the cup away from your mouth." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited breathing in the vessel, or blowing into it." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah:

From his father, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When one of you drinks, then do not breathe into the vessel." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah narrated a report (of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from Abu Sa'eed, that he prohibited bending the mouths of the water-skins. He said:

There are narrations on this topic from Jabir, Ibn 'Abbas, and Abu Hurairah. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated 'Eisa bin 'Abdullah bin Unais:

From his father who said: "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing at a hanging water-skin, so he bent it, then drank from it." He said: There is something on this topic from Umm Salamah. [Abu 'Eisa said:] The chain of this Hadith is not Sahih. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar Al-'Umari (a narrator in the chain) was graded weak due to his memory, and I do not know if he heard from 'Eisa or not.

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi 'Amrah:

From his grandmother Kabshah who said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon me. He drank from a hanging water-skin while standing. So I went to its mouth and cut it off." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib. Yazid bin Yazid bin Jabir is the brother of 'Adbur-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir. He died earlier than him.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought some milk which was mixed with some water. On his right was a Bedouin and on his left was Abu Bakr. So he drank, then he gave it to the Bedouin and said: 'The right, then the right.'" He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbas, Sahl bin Sa'd, Ibn 'Umar, and 'Abdullah bin Busr. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated Abu Qatadah:

That the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The one providing water for people is the last of them to drink." He said: There is something on this topic from Ibn Abi Awfa. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Narrated 'Aishah:

"The drink most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the sweet, cool drink." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This was reported similarly by more than one narrator from Ibn 'Uyainah from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Urwah from 'Aishah. What is correct what was reported by Az-Zuhri from the Prophet (ﷺ) in Mursal form.

Narrated Az-Zuhri:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: 'Which drink is the best ?' He said: 'The sweet, cool drink." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This is how 'Abdur-Razzaq reported it from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ) in Mursal form. This is more correct that the narration of Ibn 'Uyainah (no. 1895).
