‏ لاَ تَقْطَعُوا اللَّحْمَ بِالسِّكِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِ الأَعَاجِمِ وَانْهَسُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ ‏

‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ ‏.‏

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do not eat meat with a knife, for it is a foreign practice, but bite it, for it is more beneficial and wholesome. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not strong.
