3421 - حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ أَبُو بِشْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَهَى أَنْ يُشْرَبَ، مِنْ فَمِ السِّقَاءِ»

Commentary

Hadithi no. 3423 states that the Prophet ﷺ drank from the mouth of the waterskin directly. Hafiz Ibn Hajar preferred to reconcile between both Ahādith in the following way: The permissibility applies when there is any excuse for drinking directly such as the water skin is hanging up and there is no other utensil (to pour some drinking water in it) or drinking by hand is difficult, in such a situation, (drinking directly from the mouth of the water skin) is not undesirable. If there is no excuse then the Ahādith that prohibit such action should be implemented. (Fathul-Bāri, Volume 15, page 114)
