حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ دُعِينَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ وَفِينَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ ومِقْسَمٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ كُلُّكُمْ بَلَغَهُ مَا قِيلَ فِي الطَّعَامِ قَالَ مِقْسَمٌ حَدِّثْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهِ فَإِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ وَسَطَهُ وَكُلُوا مِنْ حَافَتَيْهِ أَوْ حَافَتَيْهَا

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3438

It was narrated that 'Ata' bin as-Sa'ib said: We were invited to a meal and Sa'eed bin Jubair and Miqsam the freed slave of lbn 'Abbas (RA) were among us. When the food was served, Sa'eed said: Have you all heard that was said concerning food? Miqsam said: O Abu 'Abdullah, tell those who have not heard. He said: lbn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "When food is served, do not eat from the middle, for the blessing ( barakah ) descends in the middle of it; eat from the edges (or the sides).”
