Muhammad bin al-Fadl bin al-Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We had a wedding feast (walimah), and Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us. Food was brought, and he said: Tear the meat with your teeth, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Tear the meat with your teeth, for it is more delicious, more pleasant and better for digestion."
