Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah — Hadith #47924

Abdullah ibn al-Sabbah al-Hashimi al-Basri told us: Abdul-A’la told us, on the authority of Ma’mar, on the authority of Hisham ibn Urwa, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Umar ibn Abi Salama, that he entered upon the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and there was food with him, so he said: Come closer, my son, and mention the name of God Almighty, and eat with your right hand, and eat from what is nearest to you.
