حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَی الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَأْکُلُ وَلَا نَشْبَعُ قَالَ فَلَعَلَّکُمْ تَفْتَرِقُونَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَمِعُوا عَلَی طَعَامِکُمْ وَاذْکُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَکْ لَکُمْ فِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد إِذَا کُنْتَ فِي وَلِيمَةٍ فَوُضِعَ الْعَشَائُ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ حَتَّی يَأْذَنَ لَکَ صَاحِبُ الدَّارِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3764
Narrated Wahshi ibn Harb: The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ we eat but we are not satisfied. He said: Perhaps you eat separately. They replied: Yes. He said: If you gather together at your food and mention Allah's name, you will be blessed in it. Abu Dawud said: If you are invited to a wedding feast before you, do not take it until the owner of the house (i. e. the host) allows you (to eat).
