Good Deed #348: Lick fingers after eating

Ibn ‘Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When one of you finishes eating, he should not wipe his fingers until he has licked them himself or has given them to someone else to lick for him.”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Ka’b bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I saw Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) eating with three fingers (i.e., the thumb, the index finger and the middle finger) and licking them after having finished the food.[Muslim].

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When a morsel of any of you falls, he should pick it up and remove any of the dirt on it and then eat it, and should not leave it for Satan nor should wipe his hand with towel until he has licked his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of the food the blessing lies.”

[Muslim].
