1893. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was brought some milk which was mixed with some water. On his right was a Bedouin and on his left was Abū Bakr. So he drank, then he gave it to the Bedouin and said: "The right, then the right." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, Saḥl bin Sa'd, Ibn 'Umar, and 'Abdullāh bin Busr. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٨٩٣ - حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلَبَنٍ قَدْ شِيبَ بِمَاءٍ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ» وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ أَعْطَى الْأَعْرَابِيَّ، وَقَالَ: الْأَيْمَنَ فَالْأَيْمَنَ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

If the cup bearer finds no division of right and left among the people but finds them sitting reverentially before a prominent personality, then he starts offering the drink to the person in front. In case the drink has been brought especially for the prominent person, it shall be offered exclusively to him. If, however, it is meant to be given to others as well, then the cup bearer shall start from his right side.
