مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 157
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“The Prophet ﷺ arrived [in Madinah] when I was ten years old, and he died when I was twenty. My mothers used to urge me to serve him. He came in to visit us, and we milked a domesticated sheep for him; the milk was then mixed with water from the well in the house. A Bedouin was to his right, Abū Bakr to his left, and ʿUmar to one side. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank. ʿUmar said, ‘Give it to Abū Bakr.’ But he passed the vessel to the Bedouin and said: ‘The one on the right first, then the one on the right.’”

Musnad Aḥmad 157
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَعْطِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ. فَنَاوَلَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ، وَقَالَ: «الْأَيْمَنُ فَالْأَيْمَنُ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna → Muḥammad ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī [who heard it directly] from Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna al-Hilālī al-Makkī: thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām, d. 198 AH. (2) Muḥammad ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī al-Madanī: thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām, d. 124 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (5619); Muslim (2029); Aḥmad (12077). The principle al-aymanu fa'l-aymanu establishes that a drink passed round in a gathering goes to the right, and that this order takes precedence over rank or seniority; other routes record the Prophet ﷺ asking the boy on his right for leave before giving precedence to the elders, which shows the right of the one seated there to be his own to waive. That a Bedouin was served before Abū Bakr illustrates the point at its sharpest. Anas's phrase “my mothers” refers to his mother Umm Sulaym together with her sisters and the women of his household.
