Using the right hand

We use the right hand to eat. Similarly, we must use the right hand to drink. According to a Hadith found in Saheeh Muslim, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) qualified eating and drinking with the left hand as the way of eating of Shaitan. A good Muslim must always refrain from what Shaitan likes and does. It does not cost us anything to use our right hand to eat and drink. However, a mere little negligence can cost us a lot. Moreover, is there any pleasure in imitating Shaitan when we have all the facilities to follow the principle of our beloved Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) and to benefit enormously in Dunya and Aakhirah without making effort and without losing anything?
