Excellence of the Cupbearer Drinking Last
عن أبي قتادة عن النبي صلی الله عليه وسلم قال ساقي القوم
آخرهم شربا
Our beloved Prophet (may peace be upon him) said that he who
serves others with drinking water should be the last to drink himself. [Jami
At-Tirmidhi: 1894]
Commentary:
Referring to this Hadith, Imam An-Nawawi stresses the manner
of serving food or drink and says that the distributor should have his share in
the end.
Islamic etiquettes are built on a principle that if a person
is designated to provide some sort of service or relief to the people, let him
first and leading serve the people and avoid placing self-interest above that
of others
