Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا آكُلُ بِشِمَالِي وَكُنْتُ امْرَأَةً عَسْرَاءَ فَضَرَبَ يَدِي فَسَقَطَتْ اللُّقْمَةُ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلِي بِشِمَالِكِ وَقَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَكِ يَمِينًا أَوْ قَالَ قَدْ أَطْلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكِ يَمِينَكِ قَالَ فَتَحَوَّلَتْ شِمَالِي يَمِينًا فَمَا أَكَلْتُ بِهَا بَعْدُ.
English Translation
Isma'il - meaning Ibn Ibrahim - told us: Husayn ibn Dhakwan told us, from Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah, from 'Abdullah ibn Muhammad, from a woman among them, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to me while I was eating with my left hand - I was a left-handed woman - and he struck my hand so that the morsel fell, and said: "Do not eat with your left hand; Allah, Blessed and Exalted, has made a right hand available for you" - or he said, "Allah, Mighty and Sublime, has freed your right hand for you." She said: So my left hand turned into a right one, and I never ate with it again after that.
