اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ , وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ , قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبِ بْنِ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَحْشِيٍّ ، أنهم قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ وَلَا نَشْبَعُ ، قَالَ : " فَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَاجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ ، وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ " .
´Wahshi bin Harb bin Wahshi bin Harb narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that they said:` “O Messenger of Allah, we eat and do not feel full.” He said: “Perhaps you eat separately?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Gather to eat together, and mention the Name of Allah over it, then it will be blessed for you.”

For further details, see: (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah, Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 25/486, and al-Sahihah by al-Albani, no. 664)
Accordingly, eating together is a cause of blessing; however, eating separately is also permissible.
The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
﴿لَيسَ عَلَيكُم جُناحٌ أَن تَأكُلوا جَميعًا أَو أَشتاتًا﴾ (al-Nur: 24:61)
“There is no sin upon you whether you eat together or separately.”
➋
Reciting ‘Bismillah’ (In the name of Allah) is a cause of blessing.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Shuf‘ah is derived from "shaf‘" and in the language it means to be paired, to add, and to assist. In the Shari‘ah, it refers to the right of pre-emption: when a partner in a shared or adjoining land or property, who holds the primary right of purchase, is not informed and the property is transferred to someone else, then to return it (to the partner) is called shuf‘ah. This is conditional upon the price being the same as that paid by the outsider.
➋
In Hadith 1516 and 3515, the neighbor referred to is the partner, as is clarified in multiple narrations. This is further supported by Hadith 3518, in which it is explained that only the neighbor whose path is shared will be entitled to shuf‘ah. If the path is not shared, but rather separate and the boundaries are distinct, then merely being a neighbor does not entitle one to the right of shuf‘ah. The right of shuf‘ah belongs only to the one who is a partner in the land or garden.
