• When eating, take morsels from the edge of the
plate because blessings descend upon the food
from the middle (Tirmidhi).
• Eating less is the sign of the believer (Bukhari).
• Eating meat without bread is a Sunna (Ibn Maja).
• Eating chicken is a Sunna (Bukhari).
• Taking bites from meat without using a utensil is
Sunna (Tirmidhi).
• It is Sunna to eat without leaning on anything
(Tirmidhi).
Many of us follow these Sunna without making the intention of Sunna either because we do not
know or we forget to. The purpose of this section is to provide a reminder for those who know and
to inform those who do not know of these Sunna so we can integrate them into our lives and live
according to the way of our Prophet a.
