حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سَوِيَّةَ أَبُو الْهُذَيْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِكْرَاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عِكْرَاشِ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي بَنُو مُرَّةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ بِصَدَقَاتِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ : " هَلْ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ؟ 0 " فَأُتِينَا بِجَفْنَةٍ كَثِيرَةِ الثَّرِيدِ وَالْوَذْرِ وَأَقْبَلْنَا نَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا فَخَبَطْتُ بِيَدِي مِنْ نَوَاحِيهَا وَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقَبَضَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى يَدِي الْيُمْنَى ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا عِكْرَاشُ كُلْ مِنْ مَوْضِعٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ وَاحِدٌ " ، ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِطَبَقٍ فِيهِ أَلْوَانُ الرُّطَبِ أَوْ مِنْ أَلْوَانِ الرُّطَبِ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ شَكَّ قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ آكُلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَجَالَتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الطَّبَقِ ، وَقَالَ : " يَا عِكْرَاشُ كُلْ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ لَوْنٍ وَاحِدٍ " ، ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِمَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِبَلَلِ كَفَّيْهِ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَرَأْسَهُ ، وَقَالَ : " يَا عِكْرَاشُ هَذَا الْوُضُوءُ مِمَّا غَيَّرَتِ النَّارُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ وَقَدْ تَفَرَّدَ الْعَلَاءُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَلَا نَعْرِفُ لِعِكْرَاشٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ .
‘Ukraash bin Dhu’ayb (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Banu Murrah bin ‘Ubayd sent me with their zakat wealth to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I came to him in Madinah and found him sitting among the Muhajirun and Ansar. Then he took my hand and brought me to the house of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked: “Is there anything to eat?” So a bowl was brought in which there was mostly tharid (bread soaked in broth) and pieces of meat. We turned to eat it. I began to move my hand around the edges of the bowl, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate from what was in front of him. Then he took my right hand with his left and said: “Ukraash! Eat from one place, for this is one kind of food.” Then a tray was brought to us in which there were various kinds of dates. I began to eat from what was in front of me, and the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) moved about in the tray. He said: “Ukraash! Eat from wherever you wish, for this is not one kind.” Then water was brought to us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) washed his hands and wiped his face, arms, and head with the moisture of his palms, and said: “Ukraash! This is the ablution after eating something cooked over fire.” © Imam Tirmidhi says:

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.
