Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) was brought a dish containing Tharid and said, "Eat from its side and not from the middle, for the blessing descends in the middle of it." [Reported by al-Arba'a. This is the wording of an-Nasa'i. Its chain of narrators is Sahih (authentic)]. Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never found fault with food (served to him). If he liked anything, he ate it and if he did not like it he left it. [Agreed upon]

Explanation & Benefits
Tirmidhi — Hadith 1805
Narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Blessing descends in the middle of the food, so eat from its edges and do not eat from the middle." © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih,
2- And it is known only through the narration of Ata bin Saib; Shubah and Thawri have also narrated it from Ata bin Saib,
3- There is also a narration in this chapter from Ibn Umar.
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
This teaches the etiquette and manner of eating: do not eat from the middle, rather eat from what is in front of you and from the sides.
The reason is that blessing (barakah) descends in the middle of the food,
and so that everyone may benefit from this blessing.
Another point is that by doing so, the portion of food that remains will stay clean and pure,
and will be useful for others.
Therefore, this should be kept in mind.

Musnad Humaydi — Hadith 539
Sufyan says: Ata bin Saib was once conversing with us, and I heard him mentioning a battle in which he had participated. Then he took a deep breath and began to weep, saying: So-and-so was also there, so-and-so was also there, so-and-so was also there, and Maqsim was also there. Then Saeed bin Jubair said: Has each of you heard that statement which has been said about food? So Maqsim said: O Abu Abdullah! Please tell the attendees that statement. So Saeed bin Jubair said: I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrating: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, blessing descends in the middle of the food, so eat from its edges and do not eat from its middle.”
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
This hadith proves that one should not eat from the middle of the food, rather each person should eat from what is in front of him.
