٧٠۔٣ باب الأَكْلِ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ

[Machine] And Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Remember the name of Allah and let every person eat from what is in front of him."

وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَلْيَأْكُلْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ».

Who was the son of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet: Once I ate a meal with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was eating from all sides of the dish. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Eat of the dish what is nearer to you."  

البخاري:٥٣٧٧حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدِّيلِيِّ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَهْوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَكَلْتُ يَوْمًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا فَجَعَلْتُ آكُلُ مِنْ نَوَاحِي الصَّحْفَةِ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ  

bukhari:5378ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Wahbb. Kaysān Abū Nuʿaym

A meal was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while his step-son, ʿUmar bin Abi Salama was with him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Mention the Name of Allah and eat of the dish what is nearer to you."  

البخاري:٥٣٧٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِطَعَامٍ وَمَعَهُ رَبِيبُهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ سَمِّ اللَّهَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ
