145( / Nutrition Style of Prophet Mohammad (saww)

Prophet Mohammad (saww) used to invite people for
food and it is recommended in Islam to invite people
for unity and abundance.
1- Prophet Used to start the food before and end
after the guest has finished. It is
recommended to eat in clean plates and glass.
2- Prophet only used to eat what was in front of
him and was offered to him and would not
reach which was not reachable as the matter
of social politeness.
3- Prophet never used to breathe in his glass
while drinking water as concern for hygiene.
4- According to view of Holy Prophet by
drinking all water at once causes pain to liver
so one should avoid drinking in one sip until
the amount is too less.
5- Prophet used to eat from right hand as eating
with right hand is a symbol of blessing.

There are other hadiths from Prophet
Mohammad (saww) that he used to do many things
with his right hand such as; eating, drinking,
taking, giving, putting clothes, wearing shoes, and
1
moving objects.
According to a narration, Imam Sadiq (as) narrates
from his ancestors that the Prophet discouraged
eating and drinking with the left hand.
