— Among these occasions is praising Allah after finishing food and drink. Allah Most High says: “O you who believe, eat of the good things We have provided for you and give thanks to Allah, if it is truly Him that you worship.” 1 Muslim narrated in his Sahīh from Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah is indeed pleased with a servant who eats a meal and praises Him for it, or drinks a drink and praises Him for it.” 2 Al-Tirmidhī narrated with a sound chain of transmission from Muādh ibn Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever eats food and then says, ‘Praise be to Allah, who fed me this and provided it for me through no power or strength of my own,’ will have his previous sins forgiven.” 3 Al-Bukhārī narrated from Abu Umāma (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his dining spread removed, he would say: “Praise be to Allah—abundant, wholesome, and blessed praise. Our Lord needs none to sustain Him, is never to be forsaken, and is One of whom none can be independent.” 4 Al-Nasāī narrated in al-Sunan al-Kubrā, with an authentic chain of transmission, from Abd al-Rahmān ibn Jubayr that a man who had served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for eight years told him that he would hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, whenever food was brought to him, “In the name of Allah.” When he finished eating, he would say: “O Allah, You have fed us and given us drink, enriched us and granted us possessions, guided us and given us life. To You belongs all praise for what You have given.” 5
