Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, ?When you eat, do not wipe your hands till you have licked it, or had it licked by somebody else.?
Need explain about this hadeeth jazakalla kahair:salam2::salam2:
:salam2:
First of all, food is a great blessing from Allah swt which we shouldn't waste.
When we are done eating, the plate should be wiped clean with one's fingers (so that we don't waste any food remaining on our plate) with our fingers. The fingers should be licked because there is some food remaining on our fingers and there is a great barakah (blessing) in licking the food off the fingers once we have completed eating.
Also a reminder, we should eat with our right hand, the way the Prophet (PBUH) taught us to eat.
I hope this made sense Insha'Allah tallah.
Wasalaamalaikum waa rahmatullahi
The manner of the Prophet was to make sure that every bit of food he allocated for himself to eat was eaten. The Prophet and his companions used to make sure that nothing remind in their plate or on their hands. The reason is very simple: when you begin eating by saying Bismillaah, the food that Allaah had brought in front of you contains a blessing, but you would never know which part exactly carried that blessing. The companions understood this, and they used to make sure not a single drop of food or liquid was left behind.
Your fingers also carry food while you are eating. To neglect the crumbs of food on your hands or in your plate is wasteful of food and possibly the blessing Allaah had placed in your food.
Anas ibn Maalik narrated that when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ate, he would lick his three fingers. Anas said: “And he said, ‘If any one of you drops a piece of food, let him remove any dirt from it and eat it, and not leave it for the Shaytaan.’ And he commanded us to clean the plate, and said, ‘For you do not know where in your food the blessing is.’”
You might be surprised. You might say: there is so little food left on your hand, is it really worth licking? The prophet indicates clearly in this haadith just how much he cared about those tiny pieces of food on your hand, to the extent that if you cannot lick your fingers after eating, then you should let someone else do it. That is how serious Muhammad was about wasting food. He wasn't joking either, the hadith is there to show you the importance of not wasting food, and utilizing the blessings Allaah has provided for you. If you don't care about those blessings, then let someone else who does get the benefit.
Now, unfortunately, we have become so used to wasting food, this hadith is simply wasted on us.
Prophet eating etiquette
I ask Allaah SWT to prevent us from wasting food, and to grant us all the blessings He has provided for us.

According to Ulama in my place, syaithan always stands beside us when we are in eating foods. And we must lick our fingers because we don't know which part of this food that contains barakah (blessing), also to prevent syaithan eats the wasted food.
(Remember me, brother ?. I am Ardianto from IB)
salam
When we lick our fingers after eating, more saliva(mouth water)is secreted from the saliva gland. that helps to kill the 1st order germs first(like bacteria etc) and helps the digestion also.
Each and every haddeth is proved scientifically....inshallah
