THE RIGHT HAS PREFERENCE

767

“Milk mixed with water was brought to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. At his right there sat a Bedouin Arab and at his left Abu Bakr. He (the Prophet) drank some and handed the rest to the Bedouin Arab saying, ‘The right has preference.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
