Arabic text

حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد، وعبد الله ابني محمد بن عيسى، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن حماد بن عثمان الناب، عن عبد الله بن علي الحلبي، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: ثلاثة أنفاس في الشرب أفضل من نفس واحد في الشرب، وقال: كان يكره أن يشبه بالهيم قلت: وما الهيم؟ قال: الرمل . وفي حديث آخر هي الإبل.

Translation

3. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad and Abdullah, the two sons of Muhammed bin Isa, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Hammad bin Uthman al-Na’ib, from Abdullah bin Ali al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: Three breaths while drinking is better than one breath while drinking. He also said that it is disliked that it resembles thirsty cattle. I said: And what are thirsty camels? He said: Riding animals. And in another narration it is camels.
