It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that water used to be brought for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to drink from the houses of Suqya.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which drink is the most preferred and delicious?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "That which is sweet and cold."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Cover the vessels and tie the mouths of the water skins, for there is a night in the year in which a plague descends, and it enters every vessel that is not covered and every water skin whose mouth is not tied.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a vessel of milk to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Baqi’. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not cover it? You should have covered it, even if only by placing a stick over it.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he brought a bowl of milk from the place of Naqi' to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which was not covered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not cover it, even if you had placed a stick over it? Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that the mouths of water skins be tied with a strap and that doors be kept closed at night. Zakariya, the narrator, did not mention the words "at night."

Syedna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that we were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he asked for water. A man said: Shall I give you nabidh to drink? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, why not. He ran and brought a vessel in which there was nabidh. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not cover it, even if you had placed a stick over it? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Drink only from those water skins whose mouths have been tied.
