"Allah is pleased with one who eats some food and praises Him for it, or drinks some drink and praises Him for it." I was a young boy under the care of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and my hand used to wander all over the platter (of food). The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said, "@O boy, mention Allah's name, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is nearer to you*." Since then, I have been eating that way. "If anyone of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and if he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, for indeed the devil eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." "None of you should hold his penis with his right hand while urinating, nor wipe himself after answering the call of nature using his right hand, nor breathe into the vessel." : . : . : The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never found fault with any food. If he liked it, he would eat; and if he disliked it, he would leave it I do not eat while reclining on my side The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade breathing into the pot or blowing into it When anyone of you eats food, let him not wipe his hand until he licks it or has it licked. Every drink that intoxicates is unlawful. The prohibition of wine was revealed, which is made of five things: grapes, dates, honey, wheat, and barley. When we attended a meal with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), we would not extend our hands until the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would start and extend his hand. Once we attended a meal with him, and a little girl came in rushing as if she was being pushed forward. She was about to put her hand into the food when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) caught her hand. Then a Bedouin came in rushing as if he was being pushed forward. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) caught his hand too. Then the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: @"Verily, the devil can eat from any food upon which the Name of Allah is not mentioned*. He (the devil) brought this little girl to be able to eat, but I caught her hand. Then he brought this Bedouin to be able to eat, but I caught his hand too. By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, his hand is in my grasp along with her hand." If only he had mentioned the name of Allah, it would have been enough for all of you They said: O Messenger of Allah, we eat but we do not get satiated. He said: "Perhaps you eat separately." They said: Yes. He then said: @"Get together over your food and mention the name of Allah, so that it will be blessed for you." Do not take two at a time, for indeed the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade taking two at a time. Then he said: Unless one asks for his brother's permission This man followed us. If you wish, allow him to come in, and if you wish, he will go back I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eating with three fingers, and when he finished eating, he would lick them One who serves people to drink should be the last to drink I gave the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) Zamzam water to drink and he drank while standing During the Prophet's lifetime, we would eat while walking and would drink while standing No one of you should drink while standing None of you should drink while standing, and whoever forgets, then let him induce vomit The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited drinking directly from the mouth of a waterskin The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade turning the waterskins upside down and drinking from their mouths that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited blowing in one's drink The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was given something to drink, so he drank from it, and there was a boy on his right Whenever the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ate food, he would lick his three fingers Food for two persons suffices for three, and food for three persons suffices for four Cover the vessels, fasten the waterskins, close the doors, and extinguish the lamps, for, indeed, the devil does not loosen waterskins, nor open doors, nor uncover vessels The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) commanded licking the fingers and the dish (after eating), and he said: You do not know in which portion the blessing lies If one of you is invited to a wedding banquet, he should attend The worst food is the food of a wedding banquet to which the rich are invited while the poor are left out. Anyone who does not answer the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) Blessing descends in the middle of the food. So eat from the sides, and do not eat from the middle I was with Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) in the company of some Magians when a sweet was brought in a silver vessel, and Anas did not eat from it Raisins used to be soaked for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in a water skin, and he would drink it that day, the next day, and the following day. In the evening of the third day, he would drink it and give some to others. If anything was left, he would spill it
