كتاب الأطعمة
Read the English translation first, with the original Arabic directly underneath.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“When food is served, take from the sides and leave the middle, for the blessing descends in the middle.”
إِذَا وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ فَخُذُوا مِنْ حَافَتِهِ وَذَرُوا وَسَطَهُ فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ فِي وَسَطِهِ
