Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 65 :: Hadith 288
Narrated 'Umar bin Abi Salama:
I was a boy under the care of Allah's Apostle and my hand used to go around the dish while I was eating. So Allah's Apostle said to me, 'O boy! Mention the Name of Allah and eat with your right hand, and eat of the dish what is nearer to you." Since then I have applied those instructions when eating.
We do have to be so adore to our belief – islam – yet it’s totally perfect on every matters. It rules every single of our life even the simplest thing such as how to laugh properly, to wear any cloth or sandal, and even to eat our dish. Verily, we don’t need to look for other guides about eating manner because our last prophet (PBUH) directs us the appropriate one.
The Messenger of Allah commands us to mention the Name of Allah before we eat. That means a lot. We see vividly many hungers due to acute poverty or probably any oppression in today’s world. They really get limitation to access sufficient staple goods quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Even to eat a plate of rice a day, it seems to be very grateful rather than nothing. Masha Allah..
And, at the same time we could taste how delicious the food in front of us. We do not face any serious difficulty to find any dish to eat. We do not suffer like those whom their kitchen never lights on. Allah eases our way to enjoy the dish. Just imagine if we were in such condition where nothing to eat. What would we say? Hence, we must mention Allah’s Name as a sign of our thanks. Yet, Allah gives us the dish, so we feel how lucky we are…indeed, no one could give this dish to us if Allah doesn’t allow him. No more reason for not to mention Allah’s name before we eat.
It’s our specialty of becoming muslim. We specialize the use of our hands. So often, prophet beckons to differ the function of our right and left hand. The right one is for communicating with other, to shake our brother’s hand firmly, and to deliver any thing to other’s hand. This is aimed to respect the ones whom we should or we are ordered to. And the left hand is for a very confidential and individual stuff. No one may not know it. We’d better not expose it. It’s very personal. But, I really respect to another culture that doesn’t sensitively distinguish our right and left hand. I personally follow how my beloved prophet gave us example to use this organ.
Allah shows many of His Greatness in our own hands. The shape clearly forms the letter of Allah in Arabic alphabets. Now, let’s look at intensively our hands, mainly the outlined marks. On our right hand’s mark appears as 18 in Arabic alphabet, and on the left one it appears as 81. If we sum, it will remind us of the 99 names of Allah. Subhanallah…So, we should use our hands accordance with what it’s creator wants us to do.
Eating the dish which is nearer to us teaches us to control our emotion, not to be greedy but so humble. We must appreciate what is given to us sincerely, because Allah knows what best for us.
