It was narrated to me by Muhammad ibn Hatim and Abu Bakr ibn Nafi' al-'Abdi, both saying: narrated to us Bahz, narrated to us Hammad ibn Salamah, narrated to us Thabit, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he ate food, would lick his three fingers. He said: and he said, "When a morsel of one of you falls, let him remove any harm from it and eat it, and not leave it for Satan." And he commanded us to wipe the bowl clean, saying, "For you do not know in which portion of your food the blessing lies."
