Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَمْسَحْ أَحَدُكُمْ يَدَهُ حَتَّى يَلْعَقَهَا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِي أَىِّ طَعَامِهِ الْبَرَكَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Mūsā ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān informed us: Abū Dāwūd al-Ḥafarī informed us, from Sufyān, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Let none of you wipe his hand until he has licked it, for he does not know which part of his food contains the blessing.
