Cleanliness After Eating

SUMMARY: We should not wipe our hands after eating until we have licked them clean.

Ibn 'Abbas reported Allah's Messenger as saying: When any one of you eats food he should not wipe his hand until he has licked it or have it licked.
حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَلاَ يَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of cleanliness and hygiene after eating. It is important to make sure that all food residue is removed from our hands before wiping them with a cloth or napkin. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed us to lick our fingers clean, as this is the most effective way of ensuring that all food particles are removed from our hands. Additionally, licking one's fingers can also be seen as a sign of gratitude for the blessings Allah has bestowed upon us in providing us with sustenance. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to practice this sunnah and ensure that they are always mindful of their hygiene and manners when eating.
