“When food is served, eat from that which is in front of you, and do not take from what is in front of your companion.’”  

ابن ماجة:٣٢٧٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ وَلاَ يَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىْ جَلِيسِهِ
