Abu Da'ud أبو داود السجستاني الأزدي · Foods (Kitab Al-At'imah)

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.

The bone dearer to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the bone of sheep.
