Method Of Licking The Fingers After Eating - Islam for Muslims

 



Cleaning the fingers after eating by licking them is a Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Ka'b bin Malik (Rodiyallahu Anihu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to eat with three fingers and when he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) completed eating he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would lick his (blessed) fingers. (Sahih Muslim).

In another Hadith, Abu Hurayrah (R) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “When you partake of meals, lick your fingers (after eating) because you do not know in which of them is the Barakah.” (Sahih Muslim).
 

The method of doing this has been outlined in the Hadith. Certain narrations indicate that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to lick his (blessed) fingers in the following order: First the middle finger, then the index finger and lastly the thumb. 

Let's revive this Sunnah
