Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَوْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ لَعِقَهَا.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Hisham, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'd, that Abd al-Rahman ibn Ka'b ibn Malik - or Abdullah ibn Ka'b ibn Malik - informed him, from his father Ka'b, that he narrated to them that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to eat with three fingers, and when he finished, he would lick them.
