Hadith 2083

أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِجَفْنَةٍ، أَوْ قَالَ: قَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ فَقَالَ: "كُلُوا مِنْ حَافَاتِهَا أَوْ قَالَ: جَوَانِبِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهَا، فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي وَسَطِهَا".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a bowl (dish) filled with tharid was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Eat from its edges, and do not eat from its center, for blessing descends in its center."

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 2081 to 2083)

From this hadith, it is understood that one should eat together in one place; eating from what is in front of oneself and from the edge is among the etiquettes of eating. Furthermore, the acceptance of gifts and presents by the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) demonstrates his humility and good character. Also, when the Islamic etiquettes of eating are observed, blessings descend upon the food.

And Allah knows best.
