ahmad:13512Ḥasan > Zuhayr > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Anṣārī > Anas

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out with Abu Bakr, Umar, and a group of Bedouins until he entered our house. A sheep was slaughtered for him and water from our well was poured for him. I thought he would say some words, but he drank the water and Abu Bakr was on his left, Umar was facing him, and a Bedouin was on his right. Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr!" So the Bedouin gave it to Abu Bakr, and the right-hand side people said, "He (Abu Bakr) should give it to us." Anas said, "So it became a Sunnah." It became a Sunnah.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished the drink, Umar said: Messenger of Allah, here is Abu Bakr, give him to drink; but Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it to the desert Arab and he left out Abu Bakr and Umar. And Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.
