Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika narrates: A man came to the service of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked him: "Where have you come from?" He replied: "I have come after drinking the water of Zamzam." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked him: "Did you drink it in the manner it should be drunk?" He asked: "O Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas! How is that (to be drunk)?" So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas said: "When you drink it, face the Qiblah and mention the name of Allah, then drink it in three breaths and drink in abundance. When you have finished drinking it, praise Allah, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The fundamental difference between us and the hypocrites is that they (the hypocrites) do not drink Zamzam in abundance."
