Musnad Ahmad 16499 — Hadith of Salamah ibn al-Akwa'
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : بُسْرُ ابْنُ رَاعِي الْعِيرِ أَبْصَرَهُ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ " ، فَقَالَ : لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا اسْتَطَعْتَ " ، قَالَ : فَمَا وَصَلَتْ يَمِينُهُ إِلَى فَمِهِ بَعْدُ ، وقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : ابْنُ رَاعِي الْعَيْرِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man—whose name was Busar bin Ra’i al-‘Ir—eating with his left hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat with your right hand." He replied, "I am not able to eat with my right hand." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May you not be able to." After that, his right hand could not reach his mouth.
