أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ بِشِمَالِهِ أَوْ يَشْرَبَ بِهَا أَوْ يَتَنَاوَلَ بِهَا.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that he dislikes for a man to eat with his left hand or drink with it and take something with it.”’
لَا تَأْكُلْ بِالْيَسَارِ وَ أَنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not eat with your left hand if you can.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ أَوْ يَشْرَبُ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَا يَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِهِ وَ لَا يَشْرَبْ بِشِمَالِهِ وَ لَا يَتَنَاوَلْ بِهَا شَيْئاً[1].
‘He must not eat with his left hand and must not drink with his left hand or lift up anything with it.’”
