2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not eat with your left hand if you can.’”
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
لَا تَأْكُلْ بِالْيَسَارِ وَ أَنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ .
