حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّوِيَّةِ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِكْرَاشٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عِكْرَاشِ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَفْنَةٍ كَثِيرَةِ الثَّرِيدِ وَالْوَدَكِ , فَأَقْبَلْنَا نَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ، فَخَبَطْتُ يَدِي فِي نَوَاحِيهَا ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عِكْرَاشُ كُلْ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَإِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ وَاحِدٌ " ، ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِطَبَقٍ فِيهِ أَلْوَانٌ مِنَ الرُّطَبِ ، فَجَالَتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الطَّبَقِ ، وَقَالَ : " يَا عِكْرَاشُ كُلْ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ ، فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ لَوْنٍ وَاحِدٍ " .
´It was narrated that ‘Ikrash bin Dhu’aib said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) was brought a bowl filled with Tharid and fatty meat, and we started to eat from it. My hand was wandering all over, so he said: ‘O ‘Ikrash, eat from one spot, for it is all the same food.’ Then we were brought a plate on which were different kinds of fresh dates, and he hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went all around the plate. He said: ‘O ‘Ikrash, eat from wherever you want, for they are not all the same.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
Both narrations mentioned in this chapter are weak; however, it is established from the narrations of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Umar bin Abu Salamah (radi Allahu anhu):
Child! Mention Allah’s name. Eat with your right hand and eat from what is in front of you. (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-At‘imah, Hadith: 5372; and Sahih Muslim, al-Ashribah, Hadith: 2022)
Therefore, when there is only one type of food in the vessel, everyone should eat from what is directly in front of them. However, if there are different types of items, then one may take their preferred item even from another side.
And Allah knows best. For further details, see the benefits and issues under Hadith: 3267.
