بَابُ الْأَمْرِ بِأَخْذِ مَا تُسَاقِطْ مِنَ اللُّقَيْمَاتِ وَلَعْقِ الأَصَابِع بَعْدَ إِنْتِهَاءِ الْأَكْلِ وَمَا جَاءَ فِي لَحْسِ الْقَصْعَةِ وَاسْتِغْفَارِهَا لِلْآكِلِ
Chapter: Command to Pick Up Fallen Morsels, Lick Fingers After Eating, What Has Been Reported Regarding Licking the Dish, and Its Seeking Forgiveness for the Eater
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7417 — Command to Pick Up Fallen Morsels, Lick
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلَا يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ فِي الْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِهِ الْبَرَكَةُ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَلَا يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَمُصَّهَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ طَعَامٍ يُبَارَكُ لَهُ فِيهِ
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you finishes eating food, he should not wipe his hands with a cloth until he has licked them or had them licked, because he does not know in which part of the food the blessing lies. In another narration, the words are: He should not clean his hands until he has sucked them, because he does not know in which part of the food blessing has been placed for him.
