[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to start with a drink when he was fasting and he would not take more than two or three sips.  

الطبراني:٢٠١٦٣ – حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَبْدَأُ بِالشَّرَابِ إِذَا كَانَ صَائِمًا وَكَانَ لَا يَعُبُّ يَشْرَبُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا»
