Arabic text

3273 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ، فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ، وَلَا يَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْ جَلِيسِهِ»

Commentary

Mâidah is the table cloth on which food has been laid. The table on which food is not placed yet is called Khutwân.
