Journey to Madinah by the true devotees

a. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has forbidden us to breath into the vessel or to blow into it. (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 474, Hadees 3728)

The renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Hakim-ul-Ummat Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـحَـنَّان has said in his commentary of this Hadees: To breath into the vessel is an act of animals. Furthermore, the breathe, sometimes, may be poisonous therefore one should breath moving the mouth away from the utensil (i.e. to take the mouth away from the glass while breathing). Do not cool hot milk by blowing it, wait for some time, and drink it when it is a bit cool. (Mirat, vol. 6, pp. 77) But there is no harm to blow by reciting any verse of the Quran or Salat-‘Alan-Nabi etc. with the intention of cure.

1. Recite بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ before drinking.

2. Drink water in small sips, large sips causes damage to the liver.

3. Drink water in three breaths.

4. Drink water with the right hand whilst sitting.

5. Look into the utensil before drinking it so that nothing harmful is in it.

(Ithaf-us-Sadah liz-Zabeedi, vol. 5, pp. 594)

6. Recite اَلۡحَمۡدُلِلّٰهِ after drinking.

7. The leftover clean water of a Muslim should not be thrown away.

8. The leftover of a Muslim is cure[1].

9. After some moments of drinking the water, if you observe the empty glass, some drops of water will be found collected at the bottom trickling down from its inner sides, drink them as well.
