شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin, drawn from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ طَعَامُهُمْ فِي إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلَوْ كَانُوا عَشَرَةً أَوْ خَمْسَةً، يَكُونُ طَعَامُهُمْ فِي صَحْنٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَسْبَابِ نُزُولِ الْبَرَكَةِ، وَالتَّفَرُّقُ مِنْ أَسْبَابِ نَزْعِ الْبَرَكَةِ، وَاللَّهُ الْمُوَفِّقُ.

This suggests that a group should eat from a single vessel. Whether there are five or ten people, they ought to share one dish suited to their number. Sharing food in this way invites blessing, while eating separately removes it. Allah is the Grantor of success.
