Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْعُمَرِيُّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ
اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الِلَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَوْ شَرِبَ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِهِ وَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِشِمَالِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ
