Cited in Riyad as-Salihin (No. 756).
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to breathe three times in the course of a drink. He would drink one time and take the container away from his mouth. He would then drink for a second and take it away, and he would do the same for a third time. He did not breathe into the container.
كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا شرب تنفس في الشراب ثلاثاً، يشرب ثم يفصل الإناء عن فمه، ثم يشرب الثانية ثم يفصل الإناء عن فمه، ثم يشرب الثالثة، ولا يتنفس في الإناء.
