اخبرنا عبد الله بن احمد بن موسى الجواليقي بعسكر مكرم، قال: حدثنا عمرو بن علي بن بحر ، قال: حدثنا ابو عاصم ، عن ابن جريج ، قال: اخبرني ابو الزبير ، عن جابر ، انه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول: " إذا طعم احدكم، فسقطت لقمته من يده، فليمط ما رابه منها، وليطعمها، ولا يدعها للشيطان، ولا يمسح يده بالمنديل حتى يلعق يده، فإن الرجل لا يدري في اي طعامه يبارك له، وإن الشيطان يرصد الناس او الإنسان على كل شيء، حتى عند مطعمه او طعامه، ولا يرفع الصحفة حتى يلعقها، او يلعقها، فإن في آخر الطعام البركة" .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "When a person is eating food and a morsel falls from his hand, he should clean off whatever is on it and eat it, and he should not leave that morsel for Satan. And a person should not wipe his hand with a cloth until he has licked his hand, because a person does not know in which part of his food the blessing has been placed for him, and Satan lies in wait for man. (Here the narrator is doubtful about a word) He lies in wait regarding everything, even regarding food. (Here the narrator is doubtful about a word) A person should not lift the bowl until he has licked it or given it to someone else to lick, because blessing is in the last part of the food."
