بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْأَكْلِ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ الْقَصْعَةِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْآكِلَ
Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding Eating from the Side of the Dish Nearest to the Eater
Hadith 7409
عَنْ أَبِي رَجْزَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ رَبِيبُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِطَعَامٍ يَأْكُلُهُ فَقَالَ ادْنُ فَسَمِّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was brought up by the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me to the food which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Come close, mention the name of Allah, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you.
Hadith 7410
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ فَقَالَ كُلُوا مِنْ حَوْلِهَا وَفِي لَفْظٍ مِنْ جَوَانِبِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي وَسَطِهَا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a bowl of tharid was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Eat from around it or from its edges, and do not eat from its middle, for indeed, blessing descends in its middle.
Hadith 7411
عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا بِقُرْصٍ فَكَسَرَهُ فِي الْقَصْعَةِ وَصَنَعَ فِيهَا مَاءً سُخْنًا ثُمَّ صَنَعَ فِيهَا وَدَكًا ثُمَّ سَفْسَفَهَا ثُمَّ لَبَّقَهَا ثُمَّ صَعْنَبَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِعَشَرَةٍ أَنْتَ عَاشِرُهُمْ فَجِئْتُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ كُلُوا وَكُلُوا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أَعْلَاهَا فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ مِنْ أَعْلَاهَا فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was among the people of Suffah. One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for bread, broke it into pieces, put them in a bowl, then added water, fat, and sifted flour to it. Then he mixed it well, gathered it from the sides to make a high heap, and then said to me: Go and bring ten men along with yourself to me. I brought them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Eat, and eat from the lower side of the bowl, do not eat from the upper side, because blessings descend from the upper side. Then they ate until they were satisfied.
