It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Satan is keen of sense and a licker, so be on your guard against him for your own selves. Whoever sleeps while there is grease on his hand, and some harm befalls him, let him blame no one but himself."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats, then whatever (particle) he moves about with his tongue (that is, what remains inside the mouth), let him swallow it, and whatever he removes with a toothpick, let him spit it out. Whoever does so has done well, and whoever does not, there is no harm on him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The drink most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was that which was cool and sweet (water or sherbet).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the drink most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was that which was cool and sweet.

Abd al-Hamid bin Sayfi bin Suhayb narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Behold!

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The first thing for which a servant will be held to account (regarding blessings) on the Day of Resurrection is that it will be said to him: 'Did We not keep your body healthy, and did We not quench your thirst with cool water?'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to breathe three times (outside) the vessel while drinking, and he would say: "This way is more thirst-quenching, more healing from illness and more wholesome (easier to digest)." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "And I too breathe three times while drinking." This hadith is sahih (authentic), but they did not record it with this addition (the practice of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) himself); they only recorded, through the narration of Thumamah from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to breathe three times in the vessel."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you is drinking from a vessel, let him not breathe into it; rather, if he wishes to breathe, let him move the vessel away from himself, then breathe." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
