Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَسَقَطَتْ لُقْمَتُهُ فَلْيُمِطْ مَا أَرَابَهُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ لِيَطْعَمْهَا وَلَا يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلَا يَمْسَحْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَ يَدَهُ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِهِ يُبَارَكُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَرْصُدُ ابْنَ آدَمَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ.
English Translation
Hasan told us, Ibn Lahi'ah told us, Abu al-Zubayr told us, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When one of you eats and his morsel falls, let him remove whatever soiled it and then eat it, and not leave it for the devil. And let none of you wipe his hand with a napkin until he has licked his hand, for a man does not know in which part of his food the blessing lies. Indeed, the devil watches over the son of Adam at every occasion, even at his meal."
