حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمْصِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِرْقٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصْعَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا : الْغَرَّاءُ ، يَحْمِلُهَا أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ ، فَلَمَّا أَضْحَوْا وَسَجَدُوا الضُّحَى أُتِيَ بِتِلْكَ الْقَصْعَةِ يَعْنِي وَقَدْ ثُرِدَ فِيهَا ، فَالْتَفُّوا عَلَيْهَا ، فَلَمَّا كَثَرُوا جَثَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ : مَا هَذِهِ الْجِلْسَةُ ؟ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَنِي عَبْدًا كَرِيمًا ، وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَبَّارًا عَنِيدًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كُلُوا مِنْ حَوَالَيْهَا وَدَعُوا ذِرْوَتَهَا يُبَارَكْ فِيهَا " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Busr: The Prophet ﷺ had a bowl called gharra'. It was carried by four persons. When the sun rose high, and they performed the forenoon prayer, the bowl in which tharid was prepared was brought, and the people gathered round it. When they were numerous, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah has made me a respectable servant, and He did not make me an obstinate tyrant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Eat from it sides and leave its top, the blessing will be conferred on it

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
➊ By "the top," what is meant is the food in the middle of the vessel, which, when the vessel is full, is somewhat elevated compared to the edges.
➋ When those eating from a single vessel eat from what is in front of them, this hadith is also acted upon, because the food in the middle is eaten after the edges have been consumed.
➌ By acting upon the Prophetic hadith, blessings are attained in sustenance.
