Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 26030 — Eating and drinking with the left
٢٦٠٣٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن عيينة عن الزهري سمع أبا بكر بن عبيد اللَّه (بن عمر) (١) عن جده عن النبي ﷺ قال: "إن الشيطان يأكل بشماله ويشرب بشماله، فإذا أكل أحدكم فليأكل بيمينه (وليشرب) (٢) بيمينه (٣) " (٤).
It is narrated from al-Zuhri that he heard Abu Bakr bin Ubaydullah bin Abdullah narrating from his grandfather, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand. So when any of you eats, let him eat with his right hand and drink with his right hand."
