ahmad:13512 – Ḥasan > 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.  

أحمد:١٣٥١٢ – حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

انْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُوَعُمَرُ وَنَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ دَارَنَا فَحُلِبَتْ لَهُ شَاةٌ وَشُنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِنَا حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ فَشَرِبَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ مُسْتَقْبِلُهُ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَقَالَ الْأَيْمَنُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَنَا أَنَسٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ

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.
