Sahih al-Bukhari 5612 (Book 74, Hadith 38) #5387
Prioritizing the Right of Others

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us to be generous and prioritize the right of others.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: I saw Allah's Messenger drinking milk. He came to my house and I milked a sheep and then mixed the milk with water from the well for Allah's Messenger . He took the bowl and drank while on his left there was sitting Abu Bakr, and on his right there was a bedouin. He then gave the remaining milk to the bedouin and said, "The right! The right (first).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَرِبَ لَبَنًا، وَأَتَى دَارَهُ فَحَلَبْتُ شَاةً فَشُبْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ، فَتَنَاوَلَ الْقَدَحَ فَشَرِبَ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ، فَأَعْطَى الأَعْرَابِيَّ فَضْلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الأَيْمَنَ فَالأَيْمَنَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on generosity and prioritizing the right of others. In this hadith, Anas bin Malik narrates that he saw Prophet Muhammad drinking milk at his house. He then mixed some water from a well with it and gave it to him. The Prophet then gave what was left in the bowl to a bedouin who was sitting on his left side, saying "The right! The right (first)." This teaches us that we should always prioritize giving people their rights first before anything else, even if it means sacrificing something for ourselves. We should also be generous with our resources and share them with those in need whenever possible.
