The Prophets Allah Psalm used to eat with three fingers. Has

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

anybody ever tried to do that? Generally, I mean, eating with

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

three fingers, it's good. You still do the Sunnah of it right to

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

eat with three fingers. It forces you to eat slowly. It's very

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

frustrating. If you're if you're used to eating with your hand.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

Really your your your palms, there are some cultures where they eat

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

rice. It's just like a big platter and you you're supposed to roll it

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

up in a bowl and throw it into your mouth. There's a lot of

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

cultures like that Saudi Arabia is like that. There's a lot of other

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

places like where they literally use their whole hand to eat

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

and telling them to eat with three fingers. It's like, what are you

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

talking about? That's why a friend of mine who's Punjabi, but he's

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

this big. He's bigger than me. Maulana is a big Maulana, and he's

00:00:52 --> 00:00:56

bigger than me, like really big. And once he was in the Emirates,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

and there was some scholars there that he was studying with, and

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

once he was eating with them, and bichara This guy is like this big

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

guy. He's eating with three fingers. We just seem so

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

disproportionate when you know, within the culture. So you know

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

what they said to him? They said to Him,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

cool. Kirkland regional eat like a man.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

Right? Eat like a man. So he's a bit of a mashallah jokey fellow.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

So with a smirk on his face, he's like, Nah, I'm cool. After the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

region. Yes, I'm eating like the most superior of men.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

Right? Um, eating like the most superior of men, which he was

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

doing eating with that person was his only You never used to lean

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

and Allah Coloma tacky, and I don't lean and eat. Because when

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

you lean and eat, you're more relaxed.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

You don't want to be relaxed, which is really weird. You know,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

it's really strange. In today's time, when you're relaxed, you eat

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

more because you're comfortable. So you don't want to be relaxed.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

You just want to eat and go that's it because that's what the rules

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

are awesome. That's the way he ate. Another thing is if you look

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

at the sooner ways of eating,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

which is definitely not cross legged, for example. It's It's the

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

old ways to contract your stomach. So to sit and eat like you would

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

like your entire shareholding in in the character of the Sadat's

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

or to sit with one leg up or to squat and eat. They always have

00:02:27 --> 00:02:32

kind of not comfortable positions to contract your stomach so you

00:02:32 --> 00:02:43

eat less bla
