It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used his right hand for eating, drinking and (putting on) clothes, and used his left hand for other tasks. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Whenever we ate food with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we would not begin (eating) until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself had begun. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Muhammad bin Hamzah bin Abdullah bin Salam narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him)), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with some of his Companions when Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came driving a camel loaded with two large sacks, holding it by the camel's rope. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What do you have with you?" He replied: Flour, ghee and honey. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Make (the camel) kneel." So he made it kneel. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a large cooking pot and put some of that flour, ghee and honey into it, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) cooked it well. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate, and the Companions ate as well. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Eat, for this resembles the khabis (a particular sweet dish) of the people of Persia." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
