What to say when eating with someone who has a bodily defect

Remembrance 1
WE RELATE FROM the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah that Jābir Honorific symbol reported that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol took the hand of a leper and put it in the plate with him, and said: “Eat: In the name of Allah, trusting in Allah and relying entirely on Him.” [1].
