DO NOT THROW FOOD AWAY

612

“When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, finished eating his meal he would lick three fingers. He said, ’If food should fall from the hand of any of you he should remove the dirty portion and eat the rest, and not leave it for satan. You should wipe the plate you eat from, because you do not know which part of your food is blessed.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related this hadith.
