Eating with Etiquette

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions went on a journey and ate Sawiq with water for their meal. After they finished eating, they washed their mouths and prayed.

Narrated Suwaid bin An-Nu'man: That he went out in the company o; the Prophet during the year of Khaibar (campaign till they reached a place called As-Sahba', the lower part of Khaibar. They offered the 'Asr prayer (there) and the Prophet asked for the food. Nothing but Sawiq was brought to the Prophet. So, they chewed it and ate it and drank water. After that the Prophet got up, washed his mouth, and they too washed their mouths and then offered the prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، خَرَجَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ عَامَ خَيْبَرَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالصَّهْبَاءِ ـ وَهْىَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ وَهْىَ أَدْنَى خَيْبَرَ ـ فَصَلَّوُا الْعَصْرَ، فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ بِالأَطْعِمَةِ، فَلَمْ يُؤْتَ النَّبِيُّ إِلاَّ بِسَوِيقٍ، فَلُكْنَا فَأَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا، ثُمَّ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ فَمَضْمَضَ وَمَضْمَضْنَا، وَصَلَّيْنَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Suwaid bin An-Nu'man tells us about the etiquette of eating that was practiced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions during their journey to Khaibar. They ate Sawiq, which is a type of food made from wheat flour, with water as their meal. After they finished eating, they washed their mouths before offering prayer. This teaches us that we should always practice good manners when we eat our meals; washing our hands before and after meals, not talking while eating or drinking, not wasting food etc., so that we can be mindful of Allah's blessings upon us. We should also remember to thank Allah for His bounties after every meal by saying 'Alhamdulillah'.
