Hadith of the Week - Food

السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکۃ

عَنْ وَحْشِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَحْشِيٍّ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا: "يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَأْكُلُ وَلَا نَشْبَعُ" قَالَ: "فَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَفْتَرِقُونَ؟" قَالُوا: "نَعَمْ" قَالَ: "فَاجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ"
 أخرجه أحمد، وأبو داود، وابن ماجه

It is narrated from Wahshi [RA]:
The companions of the Messenger (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said, "Oh Prophet of Allah (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)! Surely we eat and are not satisfied".
He (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said, "Perhaps you eat separately?".
They said, "Yes".
He (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said, "Eat together and mention the name of Allah (before eating), your food will have barakah (blessing)".

[Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah]
