Educational story: Respect for the guest

Askeriu has shown that: A man and his son had gone to Ali's house as a guest. (son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammed a.s.)
Ali received them with high honors. When lunch time came they were given lunch. After lunch, the servant of Ali (Chamber) brought towels to the guests, soap and a kettle of water to wash hands. At this moment Ali r.a. gets up and takes them from the servant and goes to the man to wash his hands, but the surprised friend does not put out his hands telling him: This is great respect, so let me be your servant! Ali tells him: To God I am like you! So why do you want to hinder the sevap of a good work, respecting the guest!?
The guest objected again, but Ali insisted, telling him: I want to serve my Muslim brother with honor, my guest, therefore do not prevent me from doing this good work!
The guest accepted but did not point his fingers properly and Ali tells him: Wash your hands as if you were my servant serving you! After the guest finished washing his hands, Ali tells his son; Now he served his friend's son to wash his hands, since I served his father. If his father was not with him and his son was a guest alone, then I would serve him to wash his hands, but since Allah wanted father and son to be guests together in my house, a distinction must be made in respect between them, so it's your turn to be honored, my son!
Thus the son of Ali r.a. he followed what his father told him.

The wisdom of this story is: The owner of the house must know how to honor and respect the guest, and the true Muslim should be like that.
