“The Messenger of Allah (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 Allah 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, Allah
will record
good deeds equivalent to the number of fingers for him.
It (i.e., the
hand) is the vessel of ‘Eisa bin Maryam, (as) when he
threw away the
cup and said: ‘Ugh! That belongs to this world.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 30, Hadith 61
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
that on one occasion A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, was sleeping with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one garment, when suddenly she
jumped up sharply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to her, "What's the matter with you? Are you
losing blood?", meaning menstruating. She said, "Yes." He said, "Wrap
your waist-wrapper tightly about you, and return to your sleeping-
place."
Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 95
