bukhari:5631Abū ʿĀṣim And ʾAbū Nuʿaym > ʿAzrah b. Thābit > Thumāmah b. ʿAbdullāh

Anas used to breathe twice or thrice in the vessel (while drinking) and used to say that the Prophet; used to take three breaths while drinking.  

البخاري:٥٦٣١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ أَنَسٌ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الإِنَاءِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَنَفَّسُ ثَلاَثًا  

tirmidhi:1886ʿAlī b. Khashram > ʿĪsá b. Yūnus > Rishdīn b. Kurayb from his father > Ibn ʿAbbās

"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."
