30. Book of Drinks
٣٠۔ كِتَابُ الْأَشْرِبَةِ
"The drink most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the sweet, cool drink." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1895)
«كَانَ أَحَبُّ الشَّرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْحُلْوَ الْبَارِدَ» عبد الله بن محمد بن يحيى هالك
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Indeed, the master of all drinks in this world and the hereafter is water."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ سَيِّدَ الْأَشْرِبَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ الْمَاءُ»
the Messenger of Allah said: “Indeed the first of what will be asked about on the Day of Judgment – meaning the slave (of Allah) being questioned about the favors – is that it will be said to him: ‘Did We not make your body, health, and give you of cool water to drink?’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3358)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُ أَلَمْ أَصِحَّ لَكَ جِسْمَكَ وَأَرْوِكَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have pure water brought to him from the wells of Al-Suqya."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسْتَسْقَى لَهُ الْمَاءُ الْعَذْبُ مِنْ بُيُوتِ السُّقْيَا»
It is more thirst- quenching, healthier and more wholesome. Anas said: So I also breathe three times in the course of a drink. (Using translation from Muslim 2028b)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثَلَاثًا وَيَقُولُ «هُوَ أَرْوَى وَأَبْرَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ «وَأَنَا أَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الشَّرَابِ ثَلَاثًا»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade blowing or breathing into a vessel. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3728)
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُتَنَفَّسَ فِي الْإِنَاءِ وَأَنْ يُشْرَبَ مِنْ فِي السِّقَاءِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should breathe into a vessel when drinking from it. However, if one desires to breathe, let him delay it and then breathe."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَتَنَفَّسْ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْإِنَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَنَفَّسَ فَلْيُؤَخِّرْهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ يَتَنَفَّسُ»
[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that he read from Malik, from Ayub ibn Habib, a freed slave of Banu Zuhrah, from Abu Al-Muthanna Al-Juhani who said, "I was sitting with Marwan ibn Al-Hakam when Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri entered. Marwan said to him, 'Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibit blowing into a drink?' He replied, 'Yes.' Then a man said, 'I only quench my thirst with one breath.' Abu Sa'id said, 'Pour the water into the cup and then breathe.' The man asked, 'But what if I see dirt in it?' He replied, 'Pour it out.'"
ثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ فِيمَا قَرَأَ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي زُهْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ «سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنِ النَّفْخِ فِي الشَّرَابِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنِّي لَا أَرْتَوِي بِنَفَسٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ «أَمِطْ الْإِنَاءَ عَنْ فِيكَ ثُمَّ تَنَفَّسْ» قَالَ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُ قَذًى؟ قَالَ «أَهْرِقْهُ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked for water, so I brought him some water which had a hair in it. I took out the hair and the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah, make it beautiful." I then noticed that he was only ninety-four years old and did not have a single white hair on his head.
اسْتَسْقَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ فَكَانَتْ فِيهِ شَعْرَةٌ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ جَمِّلْهُ» قَالَ «فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْبَعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ سَنَةً وَمَا فِي رَأْسِهِ طَاقَةً بَيْضَاءَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was once brought some water with sins in it, so he spat in it while standing and then drank from it.
«أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِذَنُوبٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَكَرَعَ فِيهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited drinking from the water container, as it is harmful."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُشْرَبَ مِنْ فِي السِّقَاءِ لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُنْتِنُهُ»
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade tipping up water skins. After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden that, a man got up at night and tipped up a water skin, and a snake fell out of it onto him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3419)
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ اخْتِنَاثِ الْأَسْقِيَةِ وَأَنَّ رَجُلًا بَعْدَمَا نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ بِاللَّيْلِ إِلَى سِقَاءٍ فَاخْتَنَثَهُ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ حَيَّةٌ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade drinking from stagnant water. Ayyub narrated, "I was informed that a man drank from stagnant water and then a snake came out." This hadeeth is authentic according to the conditions of Al-Bukhari, but he did not include it in his collection.
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُشْرَبَ مِنْ فِي السِّقَاءِ» قَالَ أَيُّوبُ «فَأُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَرِبَ مِنْ فِي السِّقَاءِ فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري
[Machine] He informed me that the Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Secure the water containers and close the doors when you go to sleep at night, cover the drinks and food, for indeed the devil enters if he finds a door open, and if he does not find water covered, he drinks from it. And if he finds the door closed and the vessel covered, he cannot open the door nor drink from the vessel. And if any of you does not have something to cover his vessel with, then he should place a stick over it." This hadith has a sound chain of narrators and Al-Bukhari and Muslim did not include it in their collections.
وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «أَوْكِئُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ وَغَلِّقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ إِذَا رَقَدْتُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَخَمِّرُوا الشَّرَابَ وَالطَّعَامَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقًا دَخَلَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ السَّقْيَ مُوكَئًا شَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ وَجَدَ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقًا وَالسِّقَاءَ مُوكَئًا لَمْ يَحِلَ وِكَاءً وَلَمْ يَفْتَحْ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ لِإنَائِهِ مَا يُخَمِّرُهُ بِهِ فَلْيَعْرُضْ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُصحيح
"I used to cover three vessels for the Messenger of Allah at night: A vessel (of water) for his ablution, a vessel for his tooth stick and a vessel for his drink." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 361)
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «كُنَّا نَضَعُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ أَوَانٍ مُخَمَّرَةً إِنَاءٌ لِطَهُورِهِ وَإِنَاءٌ لِسِوَاكِهِ وَإِنَاءٌ لِشَرَابِهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter, and whoever drinks wine in this world will not drink it in the Hereafter, and whoever drinks from vessels of gold and silver in this world will not drink from them in the Hereafter." Then he said, "The clothing of the people of Paradise, the drink of the people of Paradise, and the vessels of the people of Paradise."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَشْرَبْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَشْرَبْ بِهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لِبَاسُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَشَرَابُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَآنِيَةُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»
during the campaign of Tabuk, the Prophet of Allah called for water from a woman. She said: "I only have a waterskin of mine made from an (unslaughtered) dead animal." He said: "Didn't you tan it?" She said: "Of course." He said: "Then it's tanning is its slaughter". (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4243)
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ عِنْدَ امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدِي مَاءٌ إِلَّا فِي قِرْبَةً لِي مَيْتَةً قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ قَدْ دَبَغْتِيهَا؟» قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنِّ ذَكَاتَهَا دِبَاغُهَا»
[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Raisins and dates are indeed wine." This means when they are fermented together.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «الزَّبِيبُ وَالتَّمْرُ هُوَ الْخَمْرُ» يَعْنِي إِذَا انْتُبِذَا جَمِيعًا
[Machine] The prohibition of alcohol was revealed in two tribes from the Ansar, they drank until they became drunk and some of them started to harm each other. When they woke up, a man noticed the effect on his face, head, and beard, so he said, "My brother so-and-so did this to me. By Allah, if he was kind and compassionate, he wouldn't have done this to me." They were brothers without any grudges in their hearts, but these grudges entered their hearts. So Allah revealed the verse, "Indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful." (Quran 5:90) until His saying, "So will you not desist?" (Quran 5:91). Some people, known as the "mukallifeen", said that it is impure and it exists in the stomach of so-and-so who was killed in the Battle of Badr, and so-and-so who was killed in the Battle of Uhud. So Allah revealed the verse, "There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame concerning what they have eaten." (Quran 5:93) until it reached, "And Allah loves the doers of good." (Quran 3:134) on the condition of a Muslim.
نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ فِي قَبِيلَتَيْنِ مِنْ قَبَائِلِ الْأَنْصَارِ شَرِبُوا حَتَّى إِذَا ثَمِلُوا عَبَثَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ فَلَمَّا صَحَوْا جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَرَى الْأَثَرَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَبِرَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ فَعَلَ بِي هَذَا أَخِي فُلَانٌ وَاللَّهِ لَو كَانَ بِي رَءُوفًا رَحِيمًا مَا فَعَلَ هَذَا بِي قَالَ وَكَانُوا إِخْوَةً لَيْسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ ضَغَائِنُ فَوَقَعَتْ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الضَّغَائِنُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ} [المائدة 90] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ} [المائدة 91] فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ هِيَ رِجْسٌ وَهِيَ فِي بَطْنِ فُلَانٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَفُلَانٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا} [المائدة 93] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ} [آل عمران 134] على شرط مسلم
[Machine] A man from the Ansar invited us before the prohibition of alcohol. Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf led us in Maghrib prayer and recited Surah Al-Kafirun. He made a mistake in his recitation and instead of saying "Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun", he said "Qul ya ayyuhal mushrikun". This confused him, so the verse was revealed: "Do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated." [Al-Nisa 43]
دَعَانَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ فَتَقَدَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ فَالْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا فَنَزَلَتْ {لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى} [النساء 43]
