darimi:2073Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥanafī > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > Abū Bakr b. ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

When any one of you intends to eat (meal), he should eat with his right hand. and when he (intends) to drink he should drink with his right hand, for the Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand. (Using translation from Muslim 2020a)  

الدارمي:٢٠٧٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ»

The above-mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 865)  

الدارمي:٢٠٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ  

darimi:2075Abū al-Walīd al-Ṭayālisī > ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār > Iyās b. Salamah from my father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw Busrah ibn Ra'i al-A'iri eating with his left hand, so he said, "Eat with your right hand." He replied, "I cannot." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You cannot?" The man said, "Then my right hand has become paralyzed."  

الدارمي:٢٠٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ

أَبْصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُسْرَ بْنَ رَاعِي الْعِيرِ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ «كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ» قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ «لَا اسْتَطَعْتَ» قَالَ فَمَا وَصَلَتْ يَمِينُهُ إِلَى فِيهِ
