عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَائِطًا لِبَعْضِ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَنَاوَلُ مِنَ الرُّطَبِ فَيَأْكُلُ وَهُوَ يَمْشِي وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لَا تَأْكُلْ بِإِصْبَعَيْنِ فَإِنَّهَا أَكْلَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَكُلْ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَصَابِعَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، وَحَدِيثُهُ حَسَنٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went into a garden belonging to one of the Ansar. He began taking fresh dates and eating them while he was walking, and I was with him. He turned towards me and said: "O Ibn Abbas! Do not eat with two fingers, for that is the way the devil eats; eat with three fingers."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and his narration is hasan (good); the remaining narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَصَابِعَ وَيَلْعَقُهُنَّ إِذَا فَرَغَ .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِاخْتِصَارِ لَعَقَهُنَّ ، وَفِيهِ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat with three fingers, and when he had finished (eating), he would lick those fingers.
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in abridged form, only the part about licking the fingers. Its chain contains Asim bin Ubaydullah, and he is da'if (weak).
