He ate with his right hand and would lick his fingers clean. Sometimes he used three fingers, at others five.
He never ate food from a table, nor a small plate, nor did he eat pita type bread. He ate from a leather cloth and did not cut his meat with a knife, rather, he would bite off a piece and chew it.
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, drank from a large wooden cup with a metal lining. He also drank from a water-skin with a cleaned spout.
When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, drank from the water of Zamzam, he stood. However, on most occasions he sat. He advocated drinking in smallish sips rather than gulping down all at once. This blessed advice not to drink in one gulp is now proven to be detrimental to the liver and stomach.
