[Machine] That Prophet ﷺ was handed a cup containing water, and he drank from it. To his right was a young boy from the youth of the people, and to his left were elders. When he finished, he said, "O young boy, may I give to the elders?" The young boy replied, "I would not prefer anyone over you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ handed the cup to the young boy.
