The Book About the Etiquette of Eating
Eating from the Side of the Vessel
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ وَسَطَ الطَّعَامِ، فَكُلُوا مِنْ حَافَتَيْهِ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهِ .((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ))
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Blessing descends upon food in its middle, so eat from the sides of the vessel and do not eat from its middle." [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
