Eat on the floor<\/b><\/h2>\nIt is narrated that the Prophet \ufdfa said:<\/span>\n
\u201cI eat just as the slave eats, and I sit just as the slave sits\u201d.<\/span>\n\nAbu Ya\u2019la (Sahih)<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Eat with three fingers<\/b><\/h2>\nKa\u2019b Ibn Malik states:<\/span>\n
\u201cThe Prophet \ufdfa used to eat with three fingers and lick his hand before he wiped it.\u201d<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Eat together<\/b><\/h2>\nAbdullah Ibn Umar Narrated:<\/span>\n
\u201cI heard my father say: \u2018I heard \u2018Umar bin Khattab say: \u201cThe Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: \u2018Eat together and do not eat separately, for the blessing is in being together.\u2019\u201d<\/span>\n\nSunan Ibn Majah (Hassan)<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t overeat<\/b><\/h2>\nThe Messenger of Allah \ufdfa said:<\/span>\n
‘The human does not fill any container that is worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat what will support his back. If this is not possible, then a third for food, a third for drink, and third for his breath.”<\/span>\n\nAl-Tirmidhi (Sahih)<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t criticise food<\/b><\/h2>\nAbu Huraira narrates that:<\/span>\n
\u201cThe Prophet \ufdfa did not criticise any food ever. If he desired the food, he would eat it and if he disliked it, he would leave it.\u201d<\/span>\n\nSahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Compliment tasty food<\/b><\/h2>\nJabir reported:<\/span>\n
The Prophet \ufdfa asked for sauce and was told that there was nothing except vinegar. He asked for it and began to eat from it saying, “How excellent is vinegar when eaten as a condiment! How excellent is vinegar when eaten as a condiment!<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t discard any food.<\/b><\/h2>\nFrom the Hadith of Jabir: <\/span>\n
I heard Allah’s Apostle \ufdfa as saying: The Satan is present with any one of you in everything he does; he is present even when he eats food; so if any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave for the devil; and when he finishes (food) he should lick his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing lies.<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Lick your fingers<\/b><\/h2>\nJabir Bin Abdullah narrates that the Prophet \ufdfa said:<\/span>\n
\u201cHe should not wipe his hand with a tissue until he licks his fingers, for he does not know in which part of his food is the blessing\u201d.<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Wipe the dish<\/b><\/h2>\nAnas Ibn Malik narrates:<\/span>\n
\u201c(The Prophet) commanded us to wipe our plates\u201d.<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>\n

Praise Allah after eating<\/b><\/h2>\nAnas Bin Malik narrates that the Prophet \ufdfa said:<\/span>\n
\u201cAllah is pleased with a servant if he eats his food, he praises Allah for it; or if he drinks his drink he praises Allah for it\u201d.<\/span>\n\nSahih Muslim<\/span><\/i><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
