Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me removing meat from a bone with my hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Safwan!" I replied: "Yes, I am present." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring the meat close to your mouth and bite it off with your teeth; it is tastier and easier to digest this way."
