Anas reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to breathe three times in the course of a drink (i. e. he drank in three gulps).
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الإِنَاءِ ثَلاَثًا
It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to soak his head, then he would pour water over it three times.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُشَرِّبُ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَحْثِي عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا
That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Let none of you drink all at once like the camel. But drink two or three times, mentioning Allah's Name when you drink, and praising Him when you (finish)."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا وَاحِدًا كَشُرْبِ الْبَعِيرِ وَلَكِنِ اشْرَبُوا مَثْنَى وَثُلاَثَ وَسَمُّوا إِذَا أَنْتُمْ شَرِبْتُمْ وَاحْمَدُوا إِذَا أَنْتُمْ رَفَعْتُمْ
Abu Qatada reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle ﷺ forbade breathing in a vessel.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُتَنَفَّسَ فِي الإِنَاءِ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited breathing in the vessel, or blowing into it."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُتَنَفَّسَ فِي الإِنَاءِ أَوْ يُنْفَخَ فِيهِ
I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ drinking milk. He came to my house and I milked a sheep and then mixed the milk with water from the well for Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He took the bowl and drank while on his left there was sitting Abu Bakr, and on his right there was a bedouin. He then gave the remaining milk to the bedouin and said, "The right! The right (first).
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَرِبَ لَبَنًا وَأَتَى دَارَهُ فَحَلَبْتُ شَاةً فَشُبْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ فَتَنَاوَلَ الْقَدَحَ فَشَرِبَ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ فَضْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ

A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his left side there were old men. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet ﷺ gave it to him.
أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ وَالأَشْيَاخُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَقَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ الأَشْيَاخَ قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِفَضْلِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ
