How he ate — three fingers and licking them (ash-Shama’il 137), eating hunched from hunger (ash-Shama’il 141) and “I do not eat while reclining”.
His bread and what he ate with it — barley bread and no dining table (ash-Shama’il 146, 148), “what an excellent condiment vinegar is” (ash-Shama’il 150), olive oil, gourd, sweets and honey, meat, chicken and tharid.
Table manners — Bismillah, eating with the right hand and from what is near (ash-Shama’il 189), the supplication after eating (ash-Shama’il 191) and Allah’s pleasure at praise (ash-Shama’il 193).
His cup and fruit — Anas’s wooden cup (ash-Shama’il 195), watermelon and cucumber with dates, and the first fruit for a child (ash-Shama’il 200).
How he drank — three sips (ash-Shama’il 209), drinking standing and sitting, plus a checklist of meal manners and a glossary.
