Hadith 1884
حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثَلَاثًا " ، قَالَ : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
With this chain also, it is narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to drink water from a vessel in three breaths. This hadith is Hasan Sahih.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عِصَامٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثَلَاثًا وَيَقُولُ : هُوَ أَمْرَأُ وَأَرْوَى " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَرَوَاهُ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِصَامٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، وَرَوَى عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثَلَاثًا " .

Explanation & Benefits
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.

Hadith Commentary:
In the narration of Tabarani, it is mentioned that when a cup of water was brought to him, he would begin drinking by first reciting "Bismillah," take three breaths in between, and at the end recite "Alhamdulillah." He said: At the beginning of drinking, say "Bismillah," and at the end say "Alhamdulillah." (Fath al-Bari)

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)
