Eat with your right

Saturday, October 17, 1987

Transliteration

Idha akala ahadukum fa-l-ya'kul bi-yaminih, wa idha shariba fa-l-yashrab bi-yaminih, fa-inna-sh-shaytana ya'kulu bi-shimalihi wa yashrabu bi-shimalih.

Translation

When one of you eats, let him eat with his right hand. When he drinks, let him drink with his right. Satan eats with his left and drinks with his left.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar·Sahih Muslim 2020
