Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we were present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a meal. It was our habit that we would not extend our hands towards the food until the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had started eating first. We were sharing a meal with him when a girl came running quickly and was about to put her hand into the food, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) caught her hand. Then a Bedouin came, and he too was about to hastily put his hand into the food, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) caught his hand as well. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When“Bismillah”is not recited over the food, Satan also eats that food. This girl came so that she could create an opportunity for Satan to eat, but I caught her hand. And this Bedouin also came so that he could become a cause for Satan to eat, but I caught his hand as well. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Along with the hands of these two, Satan’s hand was also in my hand.
