Sahih al-Bukhari 2259 (Book 42, Hadith 1)
there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his left side there were
old men. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “O boy, will you allow me to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old
men?” The boy said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the rest
of it from which you have drunk.” So, the Prophet (ﷺ) gave it to him.
“ يَا غُلاَمُ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ الأَشْيَاخَ ”. قَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لأُوثِرَ بِفَضْلِي مِنْكَ أَحَدًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2259 (Book 42, Hadith 1)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
