Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: None of you should ever eat or drink with his left hand, for indeed Satan eats and drinks with his left hand.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Muhammad narrates from a woman of his tribe, she says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and I was eating with my left hand, as I was a woman who used to work with her left hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my hand and my morsel fell, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not eat with your left hand when Allah Almighty has given you a right hand, or he said that Allah Almighty has made your right hand sound. So my left hand turned into my right hand (i.e., I easily started eating with my right hand), she says: After that, I never ate with my left hand again.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When any of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and when he drinks, let him drink with his right hand (and not eat or drink with his left hand), for indeed Satan eats and drinks with his left hand.

Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man from the Ashja’ tribe named Basar bin Ra’i al-‘Ir eating with his left hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:“Eat with your right hand.”He replied:“I am not able to eat with my right hand.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“May you not be able to.”After that, his right hand was never able to reach his mouth.

Lady Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to sleep, he would place his right hand under his cheek and recite this supplication: "Allahumma qini ‘adhabaka yawma tab’athu ‘ibadak." (O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants.) He would say these words three times, and the right hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was for eating and drinking, while the left hand was for other (some) necessities.
