التسمية والأكل باليمين
Guidance to say 'Bismillah' before eating, use the right hand, and eat from the food nearest to oneself on a shared plate.
يَا غُلَامُ، سَمِّ اللَّهَ، وَكُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ، وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ
“My boy, say Allah's name, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is nearest to you.” (meaning, not a literal translation)
Commentators note the practical hygiene logic of the 'eat from what is nearest' instruction on a shared dish, alongside its etiquette dimension — reducing repeated reaching across a communal plate.
