Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1319

حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، بِقَدَحٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلَامٌ، أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ، وَالأَشْيَاخُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا غُلَامُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ الأَشْيَاخَ قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِفَضْلِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا، يَا رَسُول اللهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ أخرحه البخاري في: ٤٢ كتاب الشرب والمساقاة: ١ باب في الشرب.

Sahl bin Sa`d Narrated from:

A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present, and on his left side there were old men. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said, "O Allâh's Messenger! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet ﷺ gave it to him. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 541, Vol. 3)
