BLESSING IN THE FOOD WE EAT
Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"The food for two suffices for three; and the food for three suffices for four persons."
(Al Bukhari and Muslim – Page 497 Chapter 62 Hadith No. 565 Riyad-us-Saliheen )
Commentary:
We are told that if on some occasion a host feels that the prepared food is too little to feed his guest, all of them should willingly share it with each other.
This will be both blessing and rewarding from Allah.
Wahshi bin Hard ( r.a.) reported : Some of the Companions of The Prophet (saws) said: "We eat but are not satisfied."He (Prophet (saws)) said,
" Perhaps you eat separately,"
The Companions replied in affirmative.
He (Prophet (saws))
"Eat together and mention the Name of Allah over your food. It will be blessed for you."
