Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: When any of you is invited to a meal, he should accept the invitation. Then if he is fasting he should pray for the host, and if he is not fasting he should eat (Muslim).
Abu Mas‘ud Badri relates: A man prepared some food for the Holy Prophet and invited him along with four others. But a fifth also went along with them. Arrived at the door, the Holy Prophet said to the host: This one has followed us. You may permit him, if you will, and if you wish he will retire. He said: Messenger of Allah, indeed I invite him (Bokhari and Muslim).
Umar ibn Abi Salamah relates: I was a boy under the care of the Holy Prophet, and my hand would wander around the bowl when eating. He directed me: Pronounce the name of Allah, eat with thy right hand and from whatever is in front of thee. This became my way of eating thereafter (Bokhari and Muslim).
Salamah ibn Amr ibn Akwa’ relates that a man ate with his left hand in the presence of the Holy Prophet, who said to him: Eat with your right hand. He said: I am not able to. The Holy Prophet said: May you not be able to. It was pure arrogance that had stopped him. Thereafter he could not raise his hand to his mouth (Muslim).
Jabalah ibn Suhaih relates: We were with Abdullah ibn Zubair during a year of famine and were given a ration of dates. Passing by us when we were eating Abdullah ibn Umar would say: Do not eat two dates together, for the Holy Prophet prohibited it, except with the permission of one’s companions (Bokhari and Muslim).
Wahshi ibn Harb relates that some of the companions of the Holy Prophet said to him: Messenger of Allah, we eat but are not satisfied. He said: Perhaps you eat separately. They said: That is so. He told them: Eat together and pronounce the name of Allah over your food. It will be blessed for you. (Abu Daud).
Ibn Abbas relates that the Holy Prophet said: Blessing descends upon food in its middle, so eat from the sides of the vessel and do not eat from its middle (Tirmidhi).
Abdullah ibn Busr relates: The Holy Prophet had a cauldron called gharra, which took it four men to carry. When his companions had finished their forenoon voluntary Prayer, gharra would be brought full of broth and they would sit down round it. When their number was large the Holy Prophet would sit down on his haunches. A rustic once said: What kind of sitting is that? On which the Holy Prophet said: Allah has made me a courteous servant and has not made me a fierce tyrant. Then he said: Eat from the sides of the cauldron and leave the higher part of it. That will be blessed (Abu Daud).
Wahl ibn Abdullah relates that the Holy Prophet said: I do not eat while reclining against a pillow (Bokhari).
Anas relates that he saw the Holy Prophet lying on his back, with his knees raised eating a date (Muslim).
