, what is meant by his statement, "Whoever gives a disbeliever a drink of water from it"?

Answer:
Yes, it means that Allah did not give him anything from it, nothing at all, not even the smallest thing, not even a drink of water. But the fact that He gives it to a disbeliever is proof that it is worth nothing to Allah.
