I (had the opportunity) one day to dine with Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I picked up flesh from around the dish. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Eat from that which is near to you. (Using translation from Muslim 2022b)
أَكَلْتُ يَوْمًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلْتُ آخُذُ مِنْ نَحْوٍ حَوْلَ الصَّحْفَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ»
