Ja'far bin Abdullah narrates: Sayyiduna al-Hakam al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me eating; in those days I was a boy, and I was eating from here and there. He said: "O my son! Do not eat like this; this is how the devil eats. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put his hand into the bowl (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) into the vessel, his fingers did not go beyond the space of his palm."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains al-Nu'man bin Shibl, and he is da'if (weak).
