Chapter 52 Regarding handkerchiefs
باب فِي الْمِنْدِيلِ

Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying : When one of you eats, he must not wipe his hand with a handkerchief till he licks it or gives it to someone to lick.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَمْسَحَنَّ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا أَوْ يُلْعِقَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏
