Sahih al-Bukhari 5377 (Book 70, Hadith 5) #5151
Mindful Eating

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught his son to be mindful of others when eating from a shared dish.

Narrated 'Umar bin Al Salama: Who was the son of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet: Once I ate a meal with Allah's Messenger and I was eating from all sides of the dish. So Allah's Messenger said to me, "Eat of the dish what is nearer to you".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ـ وَهْوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ أَكَلْتُ يَوْمًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ طَعَامًا فَجَعَلْتُ آكُلُ مِنْ نَوَاحِي الصَّحْفَةِ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ كُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ
