Hadith 2124

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْخَيْرُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ أَكَلَ، فَلْيَتَخَلَّلْ، فَمَا تَخَلَّلَ، فَلْيَلْفِظْهُ، وَمَا لَاكَ بِلِسَانِهِ، فَلْيَبْتَلِعْ".
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats food should use a toothpick, and whatever comes out from the toothpick should be spat out, and whatever remains stuck to his tongue should be swallowed."
