اُردوEn
1319 صحيح حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِقَدَحٍ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ غُلاَمٌ، أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ، وَالأَشْيَاخُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا غُلاَمُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ الأَشْيَاخَ قَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِفَضْلِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا، يَا رَسُول اللهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ
Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a bowl of milk and water was presented to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace be upon him) drank from it. On his right side, a young boy was sitting, and some elderly men were sitting on his left side. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “O boy! Will you permit me to give this bowl first to the elders?” The boy replied, “O Messenger of Allah! I cannot give up my share from your leftover to anyone else.” So the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave the bowl to him first.
Brief Explanation
It is derived from the hadith that in distribution, those on the right side have the first share, then those on the left side. Also, in matters of right and wrong, no consideration can be given even to the greatest of people. This young boy was Hazrat Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma. (Raaz)
