حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ طَعَامًا لَعِقَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ " ، وَقَالَ : " إِذَا مَا وَقَعَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهَا الْأَذَى وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلَا يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ " ، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْلِتَ الصَّحْفَةَ ، وَقَالَ : &qquot; إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِكُمُ الْبَرَكَةُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate food, he would lick his three fingers. He said: "When any of you drops a morsel, he should remove the dirt from it and eat it, and not leave it for Satan." He instructed us to lick the plate and said: "You do not know in which part of your food the blessing lies." __REF_N__ Imam Tirmidhi says:
