Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not eat meat with a knife, for it is a foreign practice, but bite it, for it is more beneficial and wholesome. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not strong.

Narrated Safwan ibn Umayyah: I was eating with the Prophet ﷺ and snatching the meat from the bone with my hand. He said: bring the bone near your mouth, for it is more beneficial and wholesome. Abu Dawud said: Uthman did not hear (traditions) from Safwan. This is a mursal tradition.
