حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لاَ يَأْكُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَلاَ يَشْرَبَنَّ بِشِمَالِهِ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ. قال: كان نافع يزيد فيها: ((ولا يأخذ بها، ولا يعطي بها))

Yahya ibn Sulayman related to us: Ibn Wahb related to us: ‘Umar ibn Muhammad related to me: al-Qasim ibn ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar related to me, from Salim, from his father, who said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘Let none of you eat with his left hand or drink with his left hand, for Satan eats and drinks with his left hand.’ He said: Nafi‘ used to add to it, ‘And let him not take with it or give with it.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
قال: كان نافع يزيد فيها
The final note records an additional wording variant attributed to Nafi‘, which is absent from the English witness.
Should the additional prohibition against taking or giving with the left hand remain in this report?
