3778. It was narrated from Abū Ma'shar, from Hishām, from 'Urwah, from his father, from ‘Aishah, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Do not cut meat with a knife, for it is the practice of the non-Arabs; rather bite it, for that is more enjoyable and healthier.’” (Da’if) Abū Dāwūd said: It is not strong.

Arabic text

3778 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقْطَعُوا اللَّحْمَ بِالسِّكِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِ الْأَعَاجِمِ، وَانْهَسُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
