2 - The permissibility of drinking in one breath, because the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) did not object to the man when he said, "I do not quench my thirst in one breath." If drinking in one breath were not permissible, he (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) would have clarified it to him and might have said, for example, "Is it permissible to drink in one breath?!" And this would have been more appropriate than saying to him, "So remove the cup..." if it were not permissible. His statement indicates the permissibility of drinking in one breath, and that if one wishes to breathe, he should do so outside the vessel. This is explicitly stated in the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, "When one of you drinks, he should not breathe into the vessel. If he wishes to return, let him remove the vessel, then return, if he desires."

- "When one of you drinks, he should not breathe into the vessel. If he wishes to return, let him remove the vessel, then return, if he desires." It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (3427) and al-Ḥākim (4/139) through the route of al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Dhubāb from his uncle from him. Al-Ḥākim said, "The isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. Al-Ḥāfiẓ remained silent about it in "al-Fatḥ" (10/81), and its isnād is ḥasan in my view, for al-Ḥārith is Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Saʿd ibn Abī Dhubāb, and there is no harm in him as Abū Zurʿah said. His uncle was mentioned by Ibn Mandah among the Companions, and he named him ʿIyāḍ, as al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Tahdhīb." Al-Būṣīrī said in "al-Zawāʾid" (Q 206/2): "This isnād is authentic, its men are trustworthy, and the uncle of al-Ḥārith is named ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith."
