“The Prophet (ﷺ) was
brought a bowl filled with Tharid and fatty meat, and we started to
eat from it. My hand was wandering all over, so he said: ‘O
‘Ikrash,
eat from one spot, for it is all the same food.’ Then we
were brought
a plate on which were different kinds of fresh dates,
and he hand of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went all around the
plate. He said: ‘O
‘Ikrash, eat from wherever you want, for they
are not all the same.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 29, Hadith 24
