حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ ، وَلَا يَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْ جَلِيسِهِ ".
´It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When food is served, eat from that which is in front of you, and do not take from what is in front of your companion.’”

Benefits and Issues:
"Maidah" refers to that dining spread upon which food has already been placed; therefore, the meaning of "wudi'at al-ma'idah" is not merely to lay out the dining cloth, but rather that food must be served upon it.
An empty dining spread is called "khawan" in Arabic.
