حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَی حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ کُنْتُ آکُلُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَآخُذُ اللَّحْمَ بِيَدِي مِنْ الْعَظْمِ فَقَالَ أَدْنِ الْعَظْمَ مِنْ فِيکَ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد عُثْمَانُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ صَفْوَانَ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3779
Narrated Safwan ibn Umayyah: I was eating with the Prophet ﷺ and snatching the meat from the bone with my hand. He said: bring the bone near your mouth, for it is more beneficial and wholesome. Abu Dawud said: Uthman did not hear (traditions) from Safwan. This is a mursal tradition.
