Muwatta Malik #1801
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar from Abdullah ibn Umar that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"When you eat, eat with your right hand and drink with your right
hand. Shaytan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand."
