31. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah reported from his father, who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If one of you urinates, then let him not touch his penis with his right hand, and if he goes to relieve himself, then let him not wipe himself with his right hand, and if he drinks, then let him not drink with one breath." (Sahīh)
31 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَمَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ، وَإِذَا أَتَى الْخَلَاءَ فَلَا يَتَمَسَّحْ بِيَمِينِهِ، وَإِذَا شَرِبَ فَلَا يَشْرَبْ نَفَسًا وَاحِدًا»

1. It is forbidden to touch one's sexual organ (for males or females) with the right right hand while relieving oneself. It may be inferred from this, that one should also not touch that area with the right hand in general as well. 2. One should drink a beverage in three intervals, taking a breath in between. (That makes three breaths). That is the Islamic manner of drinking any beverage. 'Drink with one breath' means that one should breathe outside of the vessel when drinking rather than inside of it.
