When we were at food with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم none of us put in his hand till the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلمput his hand first. Once we were at food with him. A nomad Arab came in as though he were being pushed, and he was about to put his hand in food when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم seized him by the hand. Then a girl came in as though she were being pushed, and she was about to put her hand in the food when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم seized her by the hand, and he said: The devil considers the food when Allah’s name is not mentioned over it, and he brought his nomad Arab that it might be lawful by means of him, so I seized his hand: then he brought this girl that it might be lawful by means of her, so I seized her hand. By Him in Whose hand my soul is, His hand is in my hand along with their hands.
