English translation

3431. It was narrated from 'Âsim bin Muhammad bin Zaid bin 'Abdullâh, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade us to drink while (lying) on our bellies, lapping up water, and he forbade us to drink from one hand only. He said: None of you should lap up water as a dog does, and he should not drink water from one hand as the people with whom Allâh is angry do, and he should not drink from a vessel at night without stirring it first, unless the vessel was covered. Whoever drinks from his hand when he is able to drink from a vessel, with the intention of humility, Allâh will record good deeds equivalent to the number of his fingers for him. It (i.e., the hand) is the vessel of 'Eisa bin Maryam, ﷺ when he threw away the cup and said: 'Ugh! That belongs to this world.'" (Da'if)

3431 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: " نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَشْرَبَ عَلَى بُطُونِنَا، وَهُوَ الْكَرْعُ، وَنَهَانَا أَنْ نَغْتَرِفَ بِالْيَدِ الْوَاحِدَةِ، وَقَالَ: " لَا يَلَغْ أَحَدُكُمْ، كَمَا يَلَغُ الْكَلْبُ، وَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِالْيَدِ الْوَاحِدَةِ، كَمَا يَشْرَبُ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِاللَّيْلِ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ، حَتَّى يُحَرِّكَهُ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنَاءً مُخَمَّرًا، وَمَنْ شَرِبَ بِيَدِهِ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِنَاءٍ، يُرِيدُ التَّوَاضُعَ، كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَسَنَاتٍ، وَهُوَ إِنَاءُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ، إِذْ طَرَحَ الْقَدَحَ، فَقَالَ: أُفٍّ هَذَا مَعَ الدُّنْيَا "
