Hadith 2153

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَرِبَ لَبَنًا، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَأَعْطَى الْأَعْرَابِيَّ فَضْلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "الْأَيْمَنَ فَالْأَيْمَنَ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, drink milk. On his left was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and on his right was a Bedouin man. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave the remaining milk to that Bedouin, then said: "First to the right side, then to the one on his right."

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2152)

From this hadith, it is understood that the one who drinks the leftover beverage should first give it to the person on his right, and he (in turn) should give it to the one on his right. In the aforementioned hadith, this very principle was observed, even though the rank of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu was very high, yet in accordance with this rule, preference was given to a Bedouin.
