Sunan an-Nasai 5706 (Book 51, Hadith 168) #20239
Moderation in Drinking

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how 'Umar was offered a drink and he weakened it with water before drinking it.

It was narrated from Yahya bin Sa'eed who heard Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab say: "Thaqif welcomed 'Umar with a drink. He called for it, but when he brought it close to his mouth, he did not like it. He called for water to weaken it, and said: 'Do like this'."
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ تَلَقَّتْ ثَقِيفٌ عُمَرَ بِشَرَابٍ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَلَمَّا قَرَّبَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ كَرِهَهُ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَكَسَرَهُ بِالْمَاءِ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا فَافْعَلُوا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of moderation in drinking. It was narrated from Yahya bin Sa'eed who heard Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab say that Thaqif welcomed 'Umar with a drink. He called for it, but when he brought it close to his mouth, he did not like its strength and so called for water to weaken it before drinking. This teaches us that we should be moderate in our consumption of drinks and not overindulge or consume too much at once. We should also be mindful of the strength of what we are consuming and adjust accordingly if needed.
