Eating and drinking with the left hand
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 26038 — Eating and drinking with the left
٢٦٠٣٨ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا زيد بن الحباب عن عكرمة بن عمار عن أياس بن سلمة أن أباه حدثه أن رجلًا أكل عند رسول اللَّه ﷺ بشماله فقال: "كل بيمينك"، (قال) (١): لا أستطيع، قال: "لا، استطعت! ما منعه إلا الكبر"، قال: فما رفعهما إلى فيه (٢).
It is narrated from Iyas bin Salamah that his father told him that a man ate with his left hand in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat with your right hand." The man said: I cannot. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May you not be able to!" Nothing kept the man from using his right hand except arrogance. The narrator said: After that the man could not raise his right hand to his mouth.
