Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The meaning of this hadith is that when drinking water, one should not drink it all in a single breath; rather, one should take three breaths during the process, and while taking a breath, the vessel should be removed from the mouth, as clarified in another hadith. Thus, it is narrated from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
“When any of you drinks water or the like, he should not breathe into the vessel.
If he wishes to drink again, he should remove the vessel from his mouth, and then, if he wishes, he may drink more.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Al-Ashribah, Hadith: 3427)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah, referencing Al-Tabarani, has narrated a hadith from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would take three breaths while drinking.
When he brought the cup close to his mouth, he would say “Bismillah,” and when he removed it from his mouth, he would say “Alhamdulillah.”
He would do this three times.
(Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat by Al-Tabarani: 117/10, and Al-Sahihah by Al-Albani, Hadith: 1277)

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
It is understood that a drink should be consumed in three breaths,
and when taking a breath, the mouth should be removed from the vessel before breathing,
so that the stomach is not burdened all at once,
and in this way, there is no resemblance to animals.
Another point is that by not breathing into the water vessel, one is protected from the risk of saliva and germs, etc., entering it.
