حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فِي دَارِنَا هذِهِ، فَاسْتَسْقَى، فَحَلَبْنَا لَهُ شَاةً لَنَا، ثُمَّ شُبْتُهُ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِنَا هذِهِ، فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، وَعُمَرُ تُجَاهَهُ، وَأَعْرَابِيٌّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: هذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ: الأَيْمَنُونَ، الأَيْمَنُونَ، أَلَا فَيَمِّنُوا قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ، فَهِيَ سُنَّةٌ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
Anas Narrated from:
Once Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم 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. Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه was sitting on his left side and ‘Umar رضى الله عنه in front of him and a bedouin on his right side.When Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم finished, ‘Umar رضى الله عنه said to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, “Here is Abû Bakr.” But Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 the Prophet’s Sunna,” and repeated it thrice. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 745, Vol. 3)
