رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَرُوِّينَا، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ طَعَامًا، لَعَقَ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ وَقَالَ: " إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَلْيُمِطْ عَنْهَا الْأَذَى، وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا، وَلَا يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْلُتَ الصَّحْفَةَ وَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَا يَدْرِي، فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِهِ يُبَارَكُ لَهُ "

Mālik: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he ate food, would lick his three fingers, and he said: "If a morsel of one of you falls, let him remove the dirt from it and eat it, and not leave it for the Devil." And he commanded us to wipe the dish clean, and said: "None of you knows in which part of his food he will be blessed."
