حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَكَلَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ ‏"‏ . قَالَ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ اسْتَطَعْتَ ‏"‏ . مَا مَنَعَهُ إِلاَّ الْكِبْرُ . قَالَ فَمَا رَفَعَهَا إِلَى فِيهِ .

English translation
Salama b. Akwa' reported on the authority of his father that a person ate in the presence of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with his left hand, whereupon he said: Eat with your right hand. He said: I cannot do that, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: May you not be able to do that. It was vanity that prevented him from doing it, and he could not raise it (the right hand) up to his mouth

–(১০৭/২০২১) আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ (রহঃ) ..... সালামাহ ইবনু আকওয়া (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, এক লোক রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট বাম হাতে খাদ্য গ্রহণ করছিল। তিনি বললেনঃ তুমি তোমার ডান হাতে খাও। সে বলল, আমি পারবো না। তিনি বললেনঃ তুমি যেন না-ই পার। শুধুমাত্র অহমিকাই তাকে বারণ করছে। সালামাহ্ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, সে আর কখনো তার ডান হাত মুখের নিকট উঠাতে পারেনি। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫০৯৬, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
