183. hadíth

وَ رَوَى عَمَّارُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُهُ اَلْعَطَشُ حَتَّى يَخَافَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَالَ «يَشْرَبُ بِقَدْرِ مَا يُمْسِكُ رَمَقَهُ وَ لاَ يَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى.

Ammar ibn Musa narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding a man who becomes so thirsty that he fears for his life. Imam (a.s) said: "He may drink just enough to sustain himself and prevent collapse, but he should not drink until he is fully satisfied."
