762 – Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared, “Do not drink in a single draught like a camel; rather, drink in two or three draughts. Mention Allah’s name when you drink and praise Him when you finish.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who said: This is a sound (ḥasan) hadith. (1)

764 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some milk that had been mixed with water. On his right sat a Bedouin, and on his left Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). He drank and then handed the vessel to the Bedouin, saying, “To the right, to the right.” Agreed upon. (The word shība means “mixed.”)
765 – Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a drink. He sipped from it while a boy was on his right and some elders on his left. He asked the boy, “Do you allow me to give these men the drink?” The boy replied, “By Allah, I will not give up my share from you to anyone.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed the vessel in his hand. Agreed upon. (2)
(The verb tallahu means “he placed it.” The boy was Ibn ʿAbbās, may Allah be pleased with them both.)
