God says
….“Eat and drink the sustenance provided by God, and do not act wickedly on earth by spreading corruption.” -- Q.2:60
The two seas are not alike ,*-- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, the other, salty and bitter. -- Q.35:12
*i.e., God as caused them -- as if by invisible barrier-- to remain distinct in kind despite their continuous meeting and mingling in the oceans.
Prophet said
“Do not breathe into a vessel when you drink” -- H: Bukhari and Muslim. Narrator: Abu Qatadah.
“Don’t drink in one breath like the drinking of a camel, but take in two or three turns and utter BISMILLAH (in the name of God) when you begin, and ALHAMDULILLAH (all praise be to God) when you finish….” -- H: Tirmizi. Narrator: Ibn Abbas.
“…drink not in cups of gold and silver and take no food in the same (metals)” – H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Abu Hurairah.
Anas reported: (Goat’s milk mixed with water) was given to the Messenger of God in a cup who drank from it. Omer said: O Messenger of God! Give to Abu Bakr who was sitting on the left. (But) he gave it to the desert Arab sitting on his right. Afterwards he said, “The right hand is for the right side man, so take to the right hand side!” – H: Bukhari and Muslim.
