The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “If the call for evening prayer
is given while the supper is laid down, start your supper.”
The seventh: Endeavor to invite people to food even if they are from your wives
and your children. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “Gather
around your food, Allah will bless it for you.” Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, never ate alone.” The Prophet, praise and peace
be upon him, said: “The best food is the food upon, which there is multiplicity of
hands (i.e. partaking food with other people).”
The Second Part
Manners During Eating
When the table is set it should be said: “In the Name of Allah, render the food
favorable and praiseworthy and cause it to have the favor of Paradise.” And if it is
also said with every bite: „In the Name of Allah,‟ it is better still, so that greed
does not keep one away from the remembrance of Allah.
One should not eat very hot food, in regard to this the Prophet, praise and peace
is given while the supper is laid down, start your supper.”
