3772. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you eats food, he should not eat from the top of the platter, rather he should eat from the lowest part (from the edge that is closest to him), for the blessing descends from the uppermost part." (Hasan)
3772 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلَا يَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَعْلَى الصَّحْفَةِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَأْكُلْ مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا، فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ مِنْ أَعْلَاهَا»
