Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
BLESSINGS OF EATING
|H 752
“The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had a very large
cooking pot called a gharra; it required four men to carry it. After the
Companions had finished their voluntary prayer before the noon
prayer, the pot would be brought full of soup and bread and they
would sit down around it. When their numbers became great the
Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, would sit upon his knees. A
Bedouin Arab asked, „What kind of sitting is that?‟ The Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, replied, „Allah has made me a well
mannered worshiper and has not made me an arrogant tyrant.‟ Then
he said, „Eat from the side of the pot and leave the raised part in the
center because that part will be blessed.‟"
praise and peace be upon him, said this.
