Anas Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam used to lick his three fingers after having eaten". Abu Juhayfah Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallain said: 'I do not lean and eat'". Ka'b bin Maalik Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: "It was the noble habit of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallamn to use three fingers whilst eating and-he also licked them". Anas bin Maalik (Radiyallahu anhu) says: "Dates were presented to Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam). I saw him eating them. Due to hunger he was sitting on the support of something and not on his own support".
