[AI] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "None of you should wipe his hand with a towel until he licks it, for a person does not know in which of his food blessings are bestowed upon him. Indeed, Satan lies in wait for people or mankind in everything, even during their food."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَمْسَحُ أَحَدُكُمْ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَ يَدَهُ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ طَعَامِهِ يُبَارَكُ لَهُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَرْصُدُ لِلنَّاسِ أَوِ الْإِنْسَانِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ»

muslim:2033bMuḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr from my father > Sufyān > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

When any one of you drops a mouthful he should pick it up and remove any of the filth on it, and then eat it, and should not leave it for the Satan, and should not 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.

مسلم:٢٠٣٣بحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا فَلْيُمِطْ مَا كَانَ بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى وَلْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَ أَصَابِعَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِهِ الْبَرَكَةُ

Recommendation to eat dropped morsels of food and lick fingers for barakah

muslim:2033dʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr > al-Aʿmash > Abū Sufyān > Jābir

I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "Indeed, Satan attends one of you in every matter of his affairs, even he attends him when he is eating. So if a morsel falls from one of you, let him remove from it whatever harm is on it, then let him eat it and not leave it for Satan. And when he finishes, let him lick his fingers, for he does not know in which part of his food the blessing is."

مسلم:٢٠٣٣دحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَحْضُرُ أَحَدَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ، حَتَّى يَحْضُرَهُ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ، فَإِذَا سَقَطَتْ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمُ اللُّقْمَةُ فَلْيُمِطْ مَا كَانَ بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى، ثُمَّ لْيَأْكُلْهَا وَلاَ يَدَعْهَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ فَلْيَلْعَقْ أَصَابِعَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِهِ تَكُونُ الْبَرَكَةُ».

ahmad:15237Ḥasan > Ibn Lahīʿah > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you drops a morsel, he should remove what has touched it from it, and then he should eat it. He should not leave it for the devil, nor should he wipe his hand with the towel until he has licked his fingers. Indeed, a man does not know in which of his food blessings have been sent down for him, and the devil lies in wait for the son of Adam at every thing, even in his food.

[AI] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If one of you drops a morsel of food from his hand, let him remove any dirt from it and eat it. He should not leave it for the devil, nor should he wipe his hand with a cloth until he licks his hand, for a person does not know in which of his foods the blessing lies, and the devil lurks upon people or upon a person in everything, even when he is eating or his food. He should not lift the plate until he licks it or allows someone else to lick it, for indeed there is blessings in the last part of the food."

I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: The Satan is present with any one of you in everything he does; he is present even when he eats food; so if any one of you drops a mouthful he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave for the devil; and when he finishes (food) he should lick his fingers, for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing lies.
