Does the apparent meaning of the hadith indicate that each person should say the name of Allah when eating from what is near him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith of Aisha, narrated by al-Tirmidhi:
When one of you eats, let him say Bismillah (In the name of Allah). إذا أكل أحدكم فليقل بسم الله
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 5:227
Does this indicate that it applies to the group?

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. We said that, and even the hadith of Anas that is with us in al-Bukhari, where he said:
Mention the Name of Allah, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him. اذكروا اسم الله وليأكل كل رجل مما يليه
Sahih al-Bukhari 5163
We said its apparent meaning is that each person says the name of Allah. This is the apparent meaning of the hadith. Yes, indeed.
