Good Deed #350 – Pick up food that falls and eat it

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].
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Whenever Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ate food, he would lick his three fingers and say, “If anyone of you drops a morsel of food, he should remove any dirt that may have stuck on it and then eat it, and should not leave it for Satan.” He (ﷺ) also commanded us that we should glean the pot, saying, “You do not know in which part of your food the blessings lies.”[Muslim].
