حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " الْبَرَكَةُ تَنْزِلُ وَسَطَ الطَّعَامِ فَكُلُوا مِنْ حَافَتَيْهِ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ إِنَّمَا يُعْرَفُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ ، وَالثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ .

Brief Explanation
1؎: In this, the etiquette and manner of eating has been explained: do not eat from the middle, rather eat from what is in front of you and from the edges, because blessing descends upon 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 of use to others; therefore, this should be kept in consideration.
