The Prophet ﷺ said, "When your servant brings your meals to you then if he does not let him sit and share the meals, then he should at least give him a mouthful or two mouthfuls of that meal or a meal or two meals, as he has prepared it."  

البخاري:٢٥٥٧حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدَكُمْ خَادِمُهُ بِطَعَامِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُجْلِسْهُ مَعَهُ فَلْيُنَاوِلْهُ لُقْمَةً أَوْ لُقْمَتَيْنِ أَوْ أُكْلَةً أَوْ أُكْلَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ وَلِيَ عِلاَجَهُ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "When your servant brings your food to you, if you do not ask him to join you, then at least ask him to take one or two handfuls, for he has suffered from its heat (while cooking it) and has taken pains to cook it nicely." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5460)

"إذ أتى أحدَكم خادمُه بطعامِه، قد كفاه علاجَه ودخانَه فليُجلسْه مَعه، فإن لم يجْلِسُه معه فلْينَاولْه أُكلةً أو أكْلتين فإنه ولى حرَّه وعلاجَه".
