Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reader: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted: “From Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him)

That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded licking the fingers and the plate and said: “You do not know in which of them the blessing is”

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر بلعق الأصابع والصحفة وقال:إنكم لا تدرون في أيها البركة

It was narrated by Muslim
And in a narration from him:

When any one of you drops a mouthful he should pick it up and remove any of the filth on it, and then eat it, and should not leave it for the Satan, and should not wipe his hand with towel until he has licked his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of the food the blessing lies.

إذا وقعت لقمة أحدكم فليأخذها فليمط ما كان بها من أذى وليأكلها ولا يدعها للشيطان، ولا يمسح يده بالمنديل حتى يلعق أصابعه فإنه لا يدري في أي طعامه البركة

Sahih Muslim 2033b

And in a narration from him:

The Satan is present with any one of you in everything he does; he is present even when he eats food; so if any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave for the devil

إن الشيطان يحضر أحدكم عند كل شيء من شأنه حتى يحضره عند طعامه فإذا سقطت من أحدكم اللقمة فليمط ما كان بها من أذى فليأكلها ولا يدعها للشيطان

Sahih Muslim 2033d
