When one of you eats, he must not wipe his hand with a handkerchief till he licks it or gives it to someone to lick.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَمْسَحَنَّ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا
The Prophet ﷺ used to eat with three fingers and not wipe his before licking it.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلاَثِ أَصَابِعَ وَلاَ يَمْسَحُ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا
