English translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Let one of you eat with his right hand and drink with his right hand, and take with his right hand and give with his right hand, for Satan eats with his left hand, drinks with his left hand, gives with his left hand and takes with his left hand.”
