17. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from Abdullah bin Sinan, that he said
I heard Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, say: Indeed, a man is surely to drink (by the amount of) a sip, and Allah will make him enter Paradise. I said: And how is that? He said: Indeed, a man is surely to drink water, then interrupt it, then move the container away while he desires it, and then he will praise Allah, then return it and drink. He will then move it away while he desires it, and then he will praise Allah, then return it and drink. By that, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, will obligate Paradise to him for that.
