حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَقْطَعُوا اللَّحْمَ بِالسِّکِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِ الْأَعَاجِمِ وَانْهَسُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3778
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not eat meat with a knife, for it is a foreign practice, but bite it, for it is more beneficial and wholesome. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not strong.
