[Machine] In the name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end. So I asked him about that and he said, "My grandfather, Umayyah ibn Makhshiyya, narrated to me that he was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ . There was a man who used to eat with the Prophet ﷺ but he would not mention the name of Allah before eating. Then, when he was in the last morsel, he would say, 'In the name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The devil was eating with him until he mentioned the name of Allah at the beginning and at the end, and then the devil vomited out everything he had eaten.'"

بِسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَدِّي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ مَخْشِيٍّ حَدَّثَنِي وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا زَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَالَ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقَاءَ الشَّيْطَانُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَكَلَهُ

[Machine] About this, my grandfather Umayyah ibn Makhshiyy, who was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , heard him say: "There was a man who used to eat while the Prophet ﷺ was looking at him, but he did not mention the name of Allah until there was only one morsel of food left. Then he said, 'In the name of Allah' at the beginning and the end. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The devil kept eating with him until he mentioned the name of Allah, and then there was nothing left in his stomach except what he vomited.'"

[Machine] My grandfather, Umayyah ibn Makhshiyy, was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . I heard him saying that there was a man who would eat while the Prophet ﷺ was watching, but the man did not mention the name of Allah until he reached the end of his meal. Then he said "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) at the beginning and end of his meal. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The devil has been eating with him until he mentioned Allah, and whatever is left in his stomach will be vomited."

أَنَّ جَدِّي أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ مَخْشِيٍّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ اللَّهَ حَتَّى كَانَ فِي آخِرِ طَعَامِهِ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا زَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى سَمَّى فَمَا بَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِهِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قَاءَهُ»

[Machine] It was narrated to us by Umayyah ibn Makhshiyy, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that the Prophet ﷺ saw a man eating without mentioning the name of Allah. When the man was about to eat his last portion, he said "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) at the beginning and end of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The devil was eating with him until he mentioned the name of Allah, and then the devil vomited what he had eaten."
