حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ أَبُو رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ وَسَطَ الطَّعَامِ فَكُلُوا مِنْ حَافَتَيْهِ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهِ»

That the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Indeed the blessing descends to the middle of the food, so eat from its edges, and do not eat from its middle.”

ইবনু আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ খাদ্যের মাঝখানে বারকাত নাযিল হয়। অতএব তোমরা এর কিনারা হতে খাওয়া আরম্ভ কর, মাঝখান হতে খেও না। সহীহ, ইবনু মা-জাহ (৩২৭৭) এ হাদীসটিকে আবূ ঈসা হাসান সহীহ বলেছেন। এটি আতা ইবনুস সাইবের রিওয়ায়াত হিসাবেই পরিচিত। আতার সূত্রে শুবা ও সাওরীও এ হাদীসটি বর্ণনা করেছেন। ইবনু উমর (রাঃ) হতেও এ অনুচ্ছেদে হাদীস বর্ণিত আছে।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی الله عنہما سے روایت ہے کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”برکت کھانے کے بیچ میں نازل ہوتی ہے، اس لیے تم لوگ اس کے کناروں سے کھاؤ، بیچ سے مت کھاؤ“ ۱؎۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: ۱- یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے، ۲- اور صرف عطاء بن سائب کی روایت سے معروف ہے، اسے شعبہ اور ثوری نے بھی عطاء بن سائب سے روایت کیا ہے، ۳- اس باب میں ابن عمر سے بھی روایت ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Raja`], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Atha` bin As Sa`ib] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu Abbas] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barakah itu turun di tengah-tengah makanan, maka mulailah makan dari pinggirnya dan janganlah makan dari tengahnya." Berkata Abu Isa; Ini merupakan hadits hasan shahih yang hanya kami ketahui dari haditsnya Atha' bin Sa`ib.

[Syu'bah] dan [Ats Tsauri] telah meriwayatkan hadits ini dari [Atha' bin Sa`ib]. Hadits semakna juga diriwayatkan dari Ibnu Umar

İbn Abbâs (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurdu: “Bereket yemeğin ortasına iner dolayısıyla siz yemeği ortasından değil kenarlarından yeyin.” Diğer tahric: Ebû Dâvûd, Etıme Tirmizî: Bu hadis hasen sahihtir. Bu hadis sadece A’ta b. Sâib’in rivâyetiyle bilinmektedir. Şu’be ve Sevrî’de bu hadisi A’ta b. Sâib’den rivâyet etmişlerdir. Bu konuda İbn Ömer’den de hadis rivâyet edilmiştir

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ إِنَّمَا يُعْرَفُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ. وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

Abu Isa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. It is only known through the narration of Ata ibn as-Saib. Shubah and Ath-Thawri reported from Ata ibn as-Saib. There is something about this topic from Ibn Umar

What it means

This Hadīth highlights one of the manners of eating food when people are gathered around a bowl or a dish. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded eating from the sides of the pot, without eating directly from the middle, because divine blessings come down on the middle. A blessed food, although insufficient, is palatable and satiates many people.

If there is a leftover, it remains clean on the basis that no one has touched it. So those who want to eat later can do so. One, however, would be discouraged to eat the leftover if someone ate from the middle of the food, as that renders it unclean and spoils the rest of it, so it ends up being thrown away, even if it was much.
