عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا سَقَى قَالَ :
" ابْدَءُوا بِالْكَبِيرِ - أَوْ قَالَ : بِالْأَكَابِرِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَبِي يَعْلَى رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave something to drink, he would say: "Begin with the elder" (the narrator is in doubt; perhaps the words are:) "Begin with the elders."
Imam Abu Ya'la and Imam al-Tabarani (in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat) recorded this narration. The narrators of Imam Abu Ya'la are the narrators of the Sahih.

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه ابو يعلى فى المسند (2425) ، أخرجه المعجم الأوسط للطبراني برقم: 3798»
وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ :
بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، وَفِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، إِذْ أُتِيَ بِقَدْحِ فِيهِ شَرَابٌ ، فَنَاوَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ : أَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " خُذْ " فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْقَدَحَ ، قَالَ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ : خُذْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - :
" اشْرَبْ فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ مَعَ أَكَابِرِنَا ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا ، وَيُجِلُّ كَبِيرَنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مِنْ طَرِيقِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، وَلَمْ أَعْرِفْ أَبَا عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ ، وَفِي بَعْضِهِمْ كَلَامٌ لَا يَضُرُّ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present, and with him were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), along with some other Companions. Meanwhile a cup containing a drink was brought. the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held out the cup to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! You are more entitled to it." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take it." Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) took it, and before drinking he said once more: "O Prophet of Allah! You take it." the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Drink! For blessing is with our elders. Whoever does not show mercy to our young and does not honour our elders is not one of us."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration via Abu Abd al-Malik from al-Qasim, and I do not know the narrator named Abu Abd al-Malik. The remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy), and there is criticism of some of them that does no harm.
