Hudhaifah (R.A) reported: "When we attended a meal with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), we wouldn't stretch forth our hands towards the food until He (pbuh) start eating first. Once, we were with Him (pbuh) when a little girl rushed in as if someone was impelling her. She was about to lay her hand on the food when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) caught her hand. Then a Bedouin came in rushing as if someone was pushing him. He (pbuh) caught his hand also and said, "Satan considers that food lawful for himself on which the name of Allah is not mentioned. He (satan) brought this girl to make the food lawful through but I caught her hand. Then he (satan) brought the Bedouin to make it lawful through him but I caught his hand too. By Him in whose hand my soul is, now Satan's hand is in my grasp along with their hands."
Then He (pbuh) mentioned the name of Allah (swt) and began to eat." (Abu Dawood and An Nasai)
