حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيهِ وَلاَ يَتَنَاوَلْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىْ جَلِيسِهِ
