Majma al-Zawaid 7931 — Eating with the right hand

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ - يَعْنِي : ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَا يَأْكُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشِمَالِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى مِنْ طَرِيقِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should eat with his left hand, for the devil eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand."
Abu Ya'la recorded it by way of Ubaydullah bin Umar from al-Zuhri, and I do not know him. The remaining narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
