[Machine] I was a boy in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . My hand would wander in the plate, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "O boy, when you eat, say Bismillah (in the name of Allah), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you. "My food has been blessed ever since."

I was a boy under the care of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and my hand used to go around the dish while I was eating. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'O boy! Mention the Name of Allah and eat with your right hand, and eat of the dish what is nearer to you." Since then I have applied those instructions when eating.

I was under the care of Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him), and as my hand used to roam about in the dish he said to me: Boy, mention the name of Allah, and eat with your right hand and eat from what is near to you.
