8. Book of Food
٨۔ كِتَابُ الْأَطْعِمَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) and eat from what is in front of you."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «سَمِّ اللَّهَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ»
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was eating food with six of his Companions when a Bedouin came and ate it all in two bites. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If he had said Bismillah, it would have sufficed you (all). When any one of you eats food, let him say Bismillah, and if he forgets to say Bismillah at the beginning, let him say Bismillah fi awwalihi wa akhirih (In the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3264)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ طَعَامًا فِي سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَكَلَهُ بِلُقْمَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ لَكَفَاكُمْ فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ نَسِيَ أَنْ يَذْكُرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ
