Benefits of the Hadith: Among them is that it is permissible to pick out food if it is of different types, and that the *diba'* is the gourd, and it includes accustoming children to the invocation of Allah.

The Shaykh : This contains the invocation of Allah over food, as he said: It also includes accustoming children to the prescribed etiquettes, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It also includes eating with the right hand, as he said: This applies when one is with others, in which case he eats from what is nearest to him. However, if he is not with anyone, there is no harm. Then, this is restricted to the case where the food is not of different types. If it is of different types, there is no harm in eating from what is not nearest to him, based on the hadith of Anas meaning the gourd; he would pick them out, taking them from the place where they were. For example, if there is meat, the meat is usually in the middle of the plate. If we say "eat from what is nearest to you," it means he does not eat from the meat until he reaches it, and this does not make sense. Because if there are different types, there is no harm in taking from a type, even if it is not nearest to him. Yes, Khalid.
