112 – Chapter: The dislike of drinking from the mouth of a waterskin and the like, and a clarification that this is a non-binding dislike, not an outright prohibition.

766 – Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade akhtināth al-asqiyah (1) — that is, breaking open the necks of waterskins so one may drink directly from them. Agreed upon.

767 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade drinking from the mouth of a waterskin (2) or a leather canteen. Agreed upon.

768 – Umm Thābit, Kabshah bint Thābit, the sister of Ḥassān ibn Thābit (may Allah be pleased with them) said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered my house and drank, standing, from the mouth of a waterskin that was hanging up. I went to its mouth and cut it off.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who said: This is a sound and authentic (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith.

She cut it off so that the place touched by the Messenger of Allah’s blessed mouth would be preserved, kept for blessing, and protected from ordinary use. This hadith shows permissibility, whereas the two preceding reports indicate what is preferable and more complete. Allah knows best.

113 – Chapter: The dislike of blowing into a drink

769 – Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ forbade blowing into a drink. A man asked, “But if I notice a speck in the vessel?” He replied, “Pour it out.” (3) The man said, “I cannot quench my thirst in a single breath.” He answered, “Then move the cup away from your mouth.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhī, who said: This is a sound and authentic hadith.
