كتـــــاب أدب الطعام
Chapter 110: Merit of Sharing Food
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The food of one person suffices for two, the food of two persons suffices for four persons, and the food of four persons suffices for eight persons."[Muslim].
Chapter 111: Etiquette of Drinking Water
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)."[At- Tirmidhi].
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade breathing into the vessel while drinking.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
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."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
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.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Chapter 112: Undesirability of Drinking Directly from the Mouth of a Water-Skin
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited drinking directly out of the mouth of a water- skin.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
An-Nawawi said that the reason why she did this was to preserve the part of the water-skin which the lips of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) touched, gain blessings from it, and preserve it from dishonor. This narration is understood to show permissibility whereas the previous two narrations are to show what is better and closer to perfection. Allah knows best.
Chapter 113: Undesirability of Blowing into the Vessel while Drinking
The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited us from breathing into the drinking vessel or blowing in it.[At-Tirmidhi].
Chapter 114: Permission to Drink While Standing
'Ali bin Abu Talib (May Allah be pleased with him) arrived at Bab Ar-Rahbah (in Kufah) and drank water in a standing posture. Then he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing what you have seen me doing."[Al-Bukhari].
During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) we would eat while walking and would drink while standing.[At- Tirmidhi].
I saw Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drink standing, or sitting.[At-Tirmidhi].
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from drinking while standing. Qatadah reported: "We asked him: 'What about eating?"' He said: "That is even worse, (or may be he said) more detestable."Another narration is: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reprimanded [us] for drinking while standing.[Muslim].
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "None of you should drink standing; and if any one forgets, he must vomit."[Muslim].
Chapter 115: Excellence of the Cupbearer Drinking Last
Chapter 116: Permissibility of Drinking Water from all Types of Clean Vessels Except Those of Gold and Silver
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. This is Al-Bukhari's version.
In Muslim's version "'that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) called for a container of water so he was given a vessel that had some water.' Anas said 'Then I started looking at the water spouting from his fingers. Then I estimated (the persons) and they were between seventy and eighty.'"
The Prophet (ﷺ) visited us and we brought water for him in a brass vessel for his ablution and he performed ablution.[Al- Bukhari].
