Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem beautifully reminds us of the Sunnah way of drinking water as taught by our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ instructed us to drink in a manner that is clean, healthy, and full of blessings, avoiding the act of breathing into the container.
The evidence comes from the hadith:
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Do not drink in one gulp like a camel. Rather, drink in two or three sips, and do not breathe into the vessel.”
(Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1885 - Hasan)
This guidance reflects the wisdom of Islam in teaching proper etiquette and promoting good health. By following this Sunnah, we not only show our love for the Prophet ﷺ but also benefit physically and spiritually. Let’s practice this Sunnah and share its beauty with others!
