“O Messenger of Allah, we eat and do not feel full.” He said: “Perhaps you eat separately?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Gather to eat together, and mention the Name of Allah over it, then it will be blessed for you.”  

عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَحْشِيٍّ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ وَلاَ نَشْبَعُ قَالَ فَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ  

“I heard my father say: ‘I heard ‘Umar bin Khattab say: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Eat together and do not eat separately, for the blessing is in being together.’”
