Majma al-Zawaid 8293 — Drinking water on an empty stomach

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - :
" مَنْ كَثُرَ ضَحِكُهُ اسْتُخِفَّ بِحَقِّهِ ، وَمَنْ شَرِبَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى الرِّيقِ انْتُقِصَتْ قُوَّتُهُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ هُوَ فِي الزُّهْدِ ، وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever laughs a great deal weakens his own standing, and whoever drinks water on an empty stomach, his strength is diminished."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat within a long hadith, which will come later in the chapter on Zuhd (asceticism). Its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
