حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ : " أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَحْمٍ فَرُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّرَاعُ وَكَانَتْ تُعْجِبُهُ فَنَهَسَ مِنْهَا " ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب : عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، وَأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَأَبُو حَيَّانَ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، وَأَبُو زَرْعَةَ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ اسْمُهُ هَرِمٌ .
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that meat was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the foreleg was presented to him. He liked the foreleg very much, so he gnawed it with his teeth and ate it. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is hasan sahih (good and authentic).
2- In this chapter, hadiths have also been narrated from Ibn Mas'ud, Aisha, Abdullah bin Ja'far, and Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with them).
3- Abu Hayyan's name is Yahya bin Sa'id bin Hayyan, and Abu Zur'ah bin Amr bin Jarir's name is Harm.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
By "dhira’" (foreleg) is meant the portion from the knee to the hoof of the goat’s front legs.
Allamah Waheeduz-Zaman has given an excellent explanation of this, i.e., the meat of the "godi" (upper shank).

(2)
It is more beneficial to eat meat by tearing it with the teeth rather than cutting it with a knife.
