The discussion regarding the Sunnah in providing water.

The Shaykh : And so, as the poet said, "Opposites make things clear"; it is necessary for one who wants to awaken the Muslims and make them see clearly in their religion to couple his statement, and this is the principle now, with providing evidence for what we mentioned, which is that the beginning is only with the right of the water-giver, whether the one on the right is a great person or not.
There is a hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari" narrated by Anas ibn Malik, and another by Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with them both): . Both hadiths discuss an incident that occurred with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The summary is that a vessel containing milk mixed with water was brought to him, and he drank from it (peace and blessings be upon him), leaving some residue. On his right was a Bedouin, and in one narration: Abdullah ibn Abbas, who was young in age. On his left were the elders and the great ones of Quraysh, with Abu Bakr and 'Umar at their head. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the person on his right to start with Abu Bakr, but he said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I would not prefer anyone over the leftover of your drink," and he took it. Then he (peace be upon him) said: . In the narration of Sahl ibn Sa'd: three times.
Some people misunderstand this hadith, and from here comes the common error that the water-giver started with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) because he was the greatest of the people and their master. He is indeed so, without doubt, but the explanation that the beginning was with him because he was the master of the people requires a text to confirm that the beginning was for this reason. This text, although missing, contradicts a narration in "Sahih al-Bukhari" from Anas who said: "The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) happened to be..."

The questioner : ... on this basis.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : And for this reason, you bring the hadith.

The Shaykh: Yes.
He said the hadith according to the first narration is possible, meaning, even if the question arises, and even if someone might discuss: "Well, the Messenger (peace be upon him) was started with, do you know why?" This question is valid, but when you come to the other narration and it says: "The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) asked for water"; at that time, the reason for which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was started with becomes clear. What is this reason? The Messenger asked for water.
So, the beginning is only if there is a water-giver seeking to give water, then he is started with naturally. But if there is no water-giver, we take the principle established by the Messenger (peace be upon him) when he started with the Bedouin: , and in the other narration: . So, arguing that the Messenger (peace be upon him) was started with contradicts the other narration which explains why...
