Chapter: It is recommended to pass water and milk etc., to the right of the one who drinks first
Anas b. Malik reported that there was brought to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a cup of milk mixed with water, while there was on his right a desert Arab and on his left Abu Bakr. He (the Holy Prophet) drank; he then gave it to the desert Arab and said: (Give to one) who is on the right, then again who is on the right.
Anas reported: The Apostle of Allah (may peace he upon him) came to Medina when I was ten years old and he died when I was twenty years old. My mother exhorted me to serve him. He (the Holy Prophet) came to our house, and we ruined a flabby goat for him and mixed it (the milk) with water from the well of the house. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) drank that. Umar and Abu Bakr on his left side said to him: Allah's Messenger, give it to Abu Bakr, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave it to the desert Arab who was on his right. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who is on the right, then he who is on the right.
Anas b. Malik reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to our house and he asked for a drink. We milked a goat for him and then mixed it (the milk) with the water of this well of mine. I gave it to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he drank it, while Abu Bakr was on his left and 'Umar was in front of him, and a desert Arab was on his right. When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had finished the drink, Umar said: Allah's Messenger, here is Abu Bakr, give him to drink; but Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave it to the desert Arab and he left out Abu Bakr and Umar. And Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Those on the right, those on the right, those on the right (deserve preference). Anas said: This is the Sunnah, this is the Sunnah, this is the Sunnah.
Sahl b. Sa'd Sa'idi reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was given a drink, and he drank from that, and there was on his right side a boy. and on his left some old men. He said to the boy: Do you permit me to give it to them (the old men), but that boy said: by God. I will not give preference at your hand over me in my share. He (the narrator) said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then gave it in his hand.
This hadith is reported on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd with a slight variation of wording.
