When a man enters his house and mention Allah’s name on entering and on his food, the devil says: You have no place to spend the night and no evening meal; but when he enters without mentioning Allah’s name on entering, the devil says: You have found a place to spend the night, and when he does not mention Allah’s name at his food, he says: You have found a place to spend the night and an evening meal. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3765)   

السيوطي:١٧٣٣a

"إِذا دَخَلَ الرجلُ بيتَهُ فذكر اسْمَ اللهِ تعالى، حينَ يدْخُلُ وحينَ يَطعَمُ، قال الشيطانُ: لَا مَبِيتَ لكم ولا عشاءَ هَهُنا، وإنْ دخَلَ فلَمْ يذكرِ اسْمَ اللهِ عندَ دخُولهِ قال الشيطانُ: أدْرَكتم المبيتَ، وإنْ لَمْ يذكرِ اسمَ اللهِ عند مطعمِه قال: أدركتُم المبيتَ والعَشَاء" .
