حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا و قَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَأْکُلَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْکُمْ بِشِمَالِهِ وَلَا يَشْرَبَنَّ بِهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْکُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِهَا قَالَ وَکَانَ نَافِعٌ يَزِيدُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَأْخُذُ بِهَا وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهَا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الطَّاهِرِ لَا يَأْکُلَنَّ أَحَدُکُمْ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5267
Salim, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: None of you should eat with his left hand and drink with that (left hand), for the Satan eats with left hand and drinks with that (hand). Nafi' has made this addition in that: Do not take up anything with that (left hand) and do not give anything with that ; and in the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Tahir there is a slight variation of wording.
