عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا آخِذُ اللَّحْمَ عَنِ الْعَظْمِ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ قَرِّبِ اللَّحْمَ مِنْ فِيكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ
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."
