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