Mu'ml bin Isma'il al-Dwy Mwla مؤمل بن إسماعيل العدوي · Chapters on Food

“When a meal is served, a man should not stand up until it is removed, and he should not take his hand away, even if he is full, until the people have finished. And let him continue eating.* For a man may make his companion shy, causing him to withhold his hand, and perhaps he has a need for the food.”
