4237 - وعن حذيفة - رضي الله عنه - قال: كنا إذا حضرنا مع النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - طعاما لم نضع ايدينا حتى يبدا رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فيضع يده، وإنا حضرنا معه مرة طعاما، فجاءت جارية كانها تدفع، فذهبت لتضع يدها في الطعام، فاخذ رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بيدها، ثم جاء اعرابي كانما يدفع، فاخذه بيده. فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن الشيطان يستحل الطعام ان لا يذكر اسم الله عليه  ، وإنه جاء هذه الجارية ليستحل بها، فاخذت بيدها، فجاء هذا الاعرابي ليستحل به، فاخذت بيده، والذي نفسي بيده، إن يده في يدي مع يدها. زاد في رواية:"ثم ذكر اسم الله واكل". رواه مسلم.
Hudhaifa said:When we were at food with the Prophet we did not put in our hands till he had put his in first. Once when we were at food with him a girl came in as though she were being impelled and was about to put her hand in the food when God’s messenger seized her by the hand. Then a nomadic Arab came in as though he were being impelled and he seized his hand. God’s messenger then said,“The devil considers food lawful when God’s name is not mentioned over it, and he brought this girl th at it might be lawful by means of her, so I seized her hand; then he brought this nomadic Arab that it might be lawful by means of him, so I seized his hand. By Him in whose hand my soul is, the devil’s hand is in mine along with hers.”He added in a version, ‘Then he mentioned God’s name and ate.’ Muslim transmitted it.
