Is there a Hadith which states water is among the most superior drinks of this world and the Hereafter?
Answer:
Yes. Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded the Hadith wherein Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“[Among] the most superior drink in this world and the Hereafter is water”
(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4 pg. 138. Also see: Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 7477, Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 5510, 5675 and Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 5 pg. 35)
Imam Hakim has declared the Hadith authentic and Hafiz Dhahabi concurs.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
