بَابُ لَا يَأْخُذُ وَلَا يُعْطِي إِلَّا بِالْيُمْنَى
Chapter: Take and give only with the right hand
Hadith 1189
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”لَا يَأْكُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَلَا يَشْرَبَنَّ بِشِمَالِهِ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ“. قَالَ: كَانَ نَافِعٌ يَزِيدُ فِيهَا: ”وَلَا يَأْخُذْ بِهَا، وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهَا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should eat with his left hand nor drink with his left hand, for indeed Satan eats and drinks with his left hand." Whenever Nafi' narrated this tradition, he would add these words: "Do not hold or give anything with the left hand."
