Chapter 205
Remembrance 9 from Chapter 205
What to say when one has finished eating
Arabic
Romanisation
Allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa zidnā minh.
Context
We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and at-Tirmidhī as well as the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that Ibn ‘Abbās
reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “If any one of you eats food”—and in a narration by Ibn as-Sunnī “If Allah gives any one of you food”—“he should say: O Allah, bless us in it and give us better than it to eat. And anyone to whom Allah gives milk to drink should say: Allah, bless us in it and increase it for us; for there is nothing but milk that suffices both as a food and a drink in satiating hunger.” [8].At-Tirmidhī endorsed this hadith as ḥasan.
