Say Bismillah When Eating
Some hadiths we have included for virtues of eating with Bismillah.
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “When any of you wants to eat, he should mention the Name of Allah in the begining, (i.e., say Bismillah). If he forgets to do it in the beginning, he should say Bismillah awwalahu wa akhirahu (I begin with the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end).”
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
728. ‘Umar ibn Abu Salama said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me, ‘Say the name of Allah and eat with your right hand and eat what is in front of you.” [Agreed upon]
733. ‘A’isha said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was eating some food along with six of his Companions when a desert Arab came and ate it up in two mouthfuls. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘If he had said the name of Allah, it would have been enough for all of you.'” [at-Tirmidhi]
734. Abu Umama reported that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished his meal, he would say, ‘Much praise be to Allah, pure [free of self seeking] and blessed praise, for food which is not final or conclusive and of which our Lord has no need.'” [al-Bukhari]
735. Mu’adh ibn Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Whoever eats food and says, ‘Praise be to Allah who gave me this and provided me with it without any strength or power on my part,’ will be forgiven his previous wrong actions.” [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]
