حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ أَبُو رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْبَرَكَةَ تَنْزِلُ وَسَطَ الطَّعَامِ فَكُلُوا مِنْ حَافَتَيْهِ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ وَسَطِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ إِنَّمَا يُعْرَفُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Qutaybah, Abu Raja’, narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, from Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Blessing descends in the middle of the food, so eat from its edges and do not eat from its middle.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih (good and authentic); it is known only through the report of ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib. Shu‘bah and al-Thawri also reported it from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib. There is also a report on this topic from Ibn ‘Umar.

    The English witness omits the chain through Qutaybah, Jarir, ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, and Sa‘id ibn Jubayr.

    Should the full chain be included?
