Riyad as-Salihin 764 (Book 2, Hadith 38) #37253
Drinking Water Etiquette

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prohibited blowing into drinking water and advised to take a break in between gulps when drinking.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah prohibited us blowing in the drinking water. A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Sometimes I see some litter floating about on the surface. What should I do then?" He replied, "Pour them out". Then the man said: "My thirst is not quenched with one draught". Messenger of Allah said, "Then put away the cup from your mouth (in between three gulps), and take breath". At-Tirmidhi.
عن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله عنه أن النبي نهى عن النفخ في الشراب، فقال رجل ‏:‏ القذاة أراها في الإناء‏؟‏ فقالب‏:‏ ‏"‏أهرقها‏"‏ قال‏:‏ إني لا أروى من نفس واحد‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏فأبن القدح إذاً عن فيك‏"‏.‏((رواه الترمذي))

QUICK LESSONS:
Practice good manners while consuming food or drinks

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us the etiquette of drinking water. He prohibited us from blowing into our drinks as it is considered impolite and unhygienic. When asked what to do if there was litter floating on the surface of the drink, he advised to pour it out. If one's thirst was not quenched with one draught, he suggested taking a break in between gulps and taking breaths in order to prevent choking or overdrinking. This hadith teaches us that we should always practice good manners when consuming food or drinks and that we should take breaks in between gulps so as not to overindulge ourselves.
