After each sip, separate the utensil from the mouth.”
From this hadith our Prophet ﷺ has guided to drink in three sips as it is sunnah and beneficial for human beings and separate the utensils from the mouth while drinking.
“Do not drink from that side of the utensil which is chipped.”
“Do not drink directly from the chipped, the spout of a jug or from any such utensil from which the water gushes out very quickly (causing one to choke) or from such a utensil in which there is a possibility that a snake or scorpion etc. may have crept in.”
To recite this Dua, after drinking water (not other drinkables) is also Sunnat.
Translation:
All praise is due to Allah, Who of His Mercy has granted us sweet and pleasant water to drink and did not make it bitter and salty due to our Sins.
After drinking water, if the utensil is to be passed on to others, pass it to the one on the right who in turn will pass it to the one on his right, and this procedure will continue till the end. (Bukhari , Muslim) The same sequence should be observed when passing around tea or anything else. (Bukhari ,

A strength of the first perspective is that you can get things accomplished and succeed in goals in your lifetime.…
