Sahih Muslim 2020a (Book 36, Hadith 139) #12369
Righteousness Through Eating and Drinking

SUMMARY: Eating and drinking with the right hand is encouraged as it is a sign of righteousness.

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger as saying: 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.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَابْنُ، أَبِي عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ نُمَيْرٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ، اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِذَا شَرِبَ فَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages us to eat and drink with our right hand, as it is a sign of righteousness. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that the devil eats and drinks with his left hand, so we should do the opposite in order to stay away from evil. This hadith also teaches us that even small actions can have a big impact on our lives, as something as simple as eating or drinking can be an act of righteousness if done correctly. We should strive to make all our actions righteous in order to please Allah SWT.
