Summary
Malik transmits from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him), that a disbelieving guest was hosted by the Messenger of God ﷺ, who ordered a sheep to be milked for him; he drank its milk, then another, and drank, until he had drunk the milk of seven sheep. In the morning he became Muslim, and the Prophet ordered a sheep milked for him; he drank its milk, and then he ordered another for him, but he did not finish it. The Messenger of God said: the believer drinks in one intestine, and the unbeliever drinks in seven intestines. 1
