English translation

[5306] 136 - (2034) It was narrated from Anas that when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ate food, he would lick his three fingers, and he said: "If one of you drops a morsel, let him remove the dirt from it and eat it, and not leave it for the Shaitân." And he commanded us to wipe the platter, and he said: "You do not know in which part of your food the blessing is."

Arabic text

136 - (2034) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ طَعَامًا لَعِقَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ: «إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهَا الْأَذَى وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا، وَلَا يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ»، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْلُتَ الْقَصْعَةَ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِكُمُ الْبَرَكَةُ»
