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
