Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

Narrated 'Umar bin Abi Salama (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

I was a boy under the care of Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) and my hand used to go around the dish while I was eating. So
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to me, 'O boy! Mention
the Name of Allah and eat with your right hand, and eat of the dish what is
nearer to you.' Since then I have applied those instructions when eating.
