Encouragement to speak

In al-Adzkar, Imam Nawawi said, "It is advisable to talk while eating. In this connection there is a hadith of Jabir brought as we have described in "Chapter praised the food." Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali in al-Ihya said that including the ethics of eating is to talk about the good things while eating, talking about the story of the righteous people in the food. "(Al-Adzkar the 602 edition, translation, cet. Sinar new Algen Sindo)

According to the innovators and Syaikhul al-Islam Ibn al-Qayyim rh, opinion that the truth is he's talking and talking while eating. In his book alZaad (2 / 397), there are times when he wondered whether the menu on the menu today and praised the (Muslim: 2052), when he's there to teach manners and decent food to their own people (HR alBukhari: 5061) and there when The Prophet always encouraged his guest to add meal and beverages (alBukhari HR 6087). It is not true dining table into a dub of quiet conversation and silence.
