Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited us in this house of ours and asked for something to drink. We milked one of our sheep and mixed it with water from this well of ours and gave it to him. Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and ʿUmar in front of him and a bedouin on his right side. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, ʿUmar said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Here is Abu Bakr." But Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave the remaining milk to the bedouin and said twice, "The (persons on the) right side! So, start from the right side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna (the Prophet's traditions)" and repeated it thrice.

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي دَارِنَا هَذِهِ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاةً لَنَا ثُمَّ شُبْتُهُ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِنَا هَذِهِ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ تُجَاهَهُ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ الأَيْمَنُونَ الأَيْمَنُونَ أَلاَ فَيَمِّنُوا قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَهْىَ سُنَّةٌ فَهْىَ سُنَّةٌ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ

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.

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي دَارِنَا فَاسْتَسْقَى فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاةً ثُمَّ شُبْتُهُ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِي هَذِهِ قَالَ فَأَعْطَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ وُجَاهَهُ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ شُرْبِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُرِيهِ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَعْرَابِيَّ وَتَرَكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الأَيْمَنُونَ الأَيْمَنُونَ الأَيْمَنُونَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ

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. Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank that. Umar and Abu Bakr on his left side said to him: Messenger of Allah, give it to Abu Bakr, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave it to the desert Arab who was on his right. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who is on the right, then he who is on the right. (Using translation from Muslim 2029b)

قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عَشْرٍ وَمَاتَ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَكُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِي تَحُثُّنِي عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ مِنْ شَاةٍ دَاجِنٍ وَشِيبَ لَهُ مِنْ بِئْرٍ فِي الدَّارِ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَعُمَرُ نَاحِيَةً فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَعْطِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَنَاوَلَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ وَقَالَ الْأَيْمَنُ فَالْأَيْمَنُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in our house, and a jar was brought to him. They poured milk into it from the house's water, and then the Prophet ﷺ was given the jar to drink from, and Abu Bakr drank from his left side, and a Bedouin man drank from his right side. Omar said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, give Abu Bakr what you have, and I fear that the Bedouin will also be given." It is said that the Prophet ﷺ gave it to the Bedouin first, and then he said, "The right side, so the right side."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي دَارِنَا فَحُلِبَ لَهُ دَاجِنٌ فَشَابُوا لَبَنَهَا بِمَاءِ الدَّارِ ثُمَّ نَاوَلُوهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَشَرِبَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْطِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ عِنْدَكَ وَخَشِيَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيَّقَالَ فَأَعْطَاهُ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْأَيْمَنَ فَالْأَيْمَنَ

[AI] 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.

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

سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَارَنَا فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاةً دَاجِنًا وَشِبْنَاهُ بِمَاءٍ مِنْ بِئْرِ الدَّارِ وَأبُو بَكْرٍ عَن يَسَارِهِ وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَن يَمِينِهِ وَعُمَرُ نَاحِيَةً فَشَرِبَ النَّبِيّ ﷺ فقال عُمَر ناوله أبا بكر فتاوله الأعرابي وَقال الأيمن فالأيمن

" عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَدمَ النَّبِى ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا ابن عَشْرِ سِنينَ، وَمَاتَ وأَنَا ابنُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وكُنَّ أُمهَّاتي يَحْثُثْنَنِى عَلَى خِدْمتهِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ، فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاة لَنَا دَاجنًا (*) فَشِيبَ لَهُ مِنْ مَاءِ بئِر في الدًارِ وأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ شمَالِهِ وَأعرَابىٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَشَرِبَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ وَعُمَر نَاحِيَةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَر أعْطِهِ أَبَا بَكْر، فَنَاوَلَ الأَعْرَابِىّ وَقَالَ: الأَيْمَن فَالأَيْمَن ".
