حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبِ بْنِ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، وَحْشِيٍّ

أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ وَلَا نَشْبَعُ. قَالَ: «فَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ». قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «فَاجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ»

“O Messenger of Allah, we eat and do not feel full.” He said: “Perhaps you eat separately?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “Gather to eat together, and mention the Name of Allah over it, then it will be blessed for you.”

ওয়াহশী (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তারা বলেন, ইয়া রাসূলাল্লাহ! আমরা আহার করি, কিন্তু পরিতৃপ্ত হতে পারি না। তিনি বলেন, তোমরা হয়ত পৃথক পৃথকভাবে আহার করো। তারা বলেন, হ্যাঁ। তিনি বলেন, তোমরা একত্রে আহার করো এবং আহারকালে আল্লাহর নাম স্মরণ করো, তাহলে তোমাদের খাদ্যে তোমাদের জন্য বরকত দেয়া হবে।

وحشی بن حرب حبشی رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ لوگوں نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! ہم لوگ کھاتے ہیں لیکن سیر نہیں ہوتے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: شاید الگ الگ متفرق ہو کر کھاتے ہو ، لوگوں نے کہا: جی ہاں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: کھانا مل جل کر ایک ساتھ کھاؤ، اور اللہ کا نام لیا کرو، تو اس میں تمہارے لیے برکت ہو گی ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin 'Ammar] dan [Daud bin Rusyaid] dan [Muhammad bin As Shabah] mereka berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Walid bin Muslim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Wahsyi bin Harb bin Wahsyi bin Harb] dari [Ayahnya] dari kakeknya [Wahsyi], sesungguhnya para sahabat bertanya, "Wahai Rasulullah, kami makan namun tidak pernah merasa kenyang?"

Beliau bersabda: "Mungkin kalian makan dengan berpencar (tidak bersama-sama)." Mereka berkata, "Ya, benar." Beliau bersabda: "Berkumpullah pada makanan kalian (untuk makan bersama) dan sebutlah nama Allah, niscaya kalian akan di berkahi

Vahşi bin Harb (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre sahâbiler: Ya Resûlallahl Biz yemek yiyiyoruz da doymuyoruz, dediler. Resul-i Ekrem (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): «Siz ayn ayn mı yiyorsunuz?» buyurdu. Sahâbîler: Evet, diye cevab verdiler. Resul-i Ekrem (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): «Bundan sonra yemeğiniz üzerinde toplanınız (yâni beraber yiyıniz) ve yemeğe (başlarken) Allah'ın ismini anınız ki yemek sizin için bereketli olsun,» buyurdu

What it means

Some of the Companions asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), saying: We eat, but we do not get satiated. Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: Perhaps you eat separately, and each of you eats alone. They said: Yes. He said: Gather together and do not eat separately, and mention the name of Allah when eating by saying: Bismillāh—it will be blessed for you, and you will feel satisfied.

What it teaches

  • Gathering for food and saying the name of Allah before eating are means of bringing blessings to the food and feeling satisfied with it.
  • Division is entirely evil, and unity is entirely good.
  • Encouragement to eat together and to mention Allah's name before eating food.
  • As-Sindi said: Through gathering (to eat), blessings descend upon the food provisions; and by mentioning the name of Allah Almighty, the devil is prevented from reaching the food.
