و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا أَکَلَ طَعَامًا لَعِقَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ قَالَ وَقَالَ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِکُمْ فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهَا الْأَذَی وَلْيَأْکُلْهَا وَلَا يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْلُتَ الْقَصْعَةَ قَالَ فَإِنَّکُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِکُمْ الْبَرَکَةُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5306
Anas reported that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ate food he licked his three fingers, and he said: When any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove anything filthy from it and then eat it, and should not leave it for the Satan. He also commanded us that we should wipe the dish saying: You do not know in what portion of your food the blessing lies.
