Manners of eating

Say Bismillah, eat with the right hand, and eat from what is in front of you.

When 'Umar ibn Abi Salamah was a boy, his hand used to wander around the plate. The Prophet ﷺ taught him three simple manners.

“Young man, say Bismillah, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you.”
