Hadith.4256 - Amr ibn Qays al-Masir narrated
I entered upon Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), in Medina, and there was a dining table before him, and Imam (as) was eating.
I said to Imam (as): "What is the proper etiquette for this table?"
Imam (as) replied: "When you place it, mention the name of Allah (swt), and when you remove it, praise Allah (swt). Clean up what is around the table, for this is its etiquette."
He said: Then I turned, and there was a jug placed there. So I said to Imam (as), "What is the proper etiquette for the jug?"
Imam (as) replied: "Drink from the side of its lip, and mention the name of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic. When you lift it from your mouth, praise Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic. Avoid drinking from the spot near the handle, for that is the seat of Satan. This is its etiquette."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ خِوَانٌ وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا حَدُّ هَذَا اَلْخِوَانِ فَقَالَ "إِذَا وَضَعْتَهُ فَسَمِّ اَللَّهَ وَ إِذَا رَفَعْتَهُ فَاحْمَدِ اَللَّهَ وَ قُمَّ مَا حَوْلَ اَلْخِوَانِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا حَدُّهُ" قَالَ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا كُوزٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا حَدُّ اَلْكُوزِ فَقَالَ "اِشْرَبْ مِمَّا يَلِي شَفَتَيْهِ وَ سَمِّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَهُ عَنْ فِيكَ فَاحْمَدِ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ مَوْضِعَ اَلْعُرْوَةِ أَنْ تَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَقْعَدُ اَلشَّيْطَانِ فَهَذَا حَدُّهُ".
