حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ طَعَامًا فَلْيَقُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ , وَارْزُقْنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ , وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ لَبَنًا , فَلْيَقُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ , وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ , فَإِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ إِلَّا اللَّبَنُ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever is given food by Allah, let him say: Allahumma barik lana fihi wa arzuqna khairan minhu (O Allah, bless it for us and provide us with something better than it). And whoever is given milk to drink by Allah, let him say: Allahumma barik lana fihi wa zidna minhu (O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it). For I do not know of any food or drink that suffices, apart from milk.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, whereas Shaykh al-Albani has graded it hasan due to other supporting evidences. Furthermore, this narration is also reported in detail in Musnad Ahmad. In it, the supplication after drinking milk is the same as in the mentioned hadith, but the final words of the supplication after eating are different, i.e., instead of (warzuqna khayran minhu), it is (wa-at‘imna khayran minhu). The narration of Musnad Ahmad has also been graded hasan by the scholars due to supporting evidences. Therefore, despite the mentioned narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable due to other supporting evidences. And Allah knows best.
For details, see: (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 4/345, al-Sahihah by al-Albani: 5/411, 413, Hadith: 2320)
➋
Reciting the mentioned supplications after eating food and drinking milk is an acknowledgment and gratitude for Allah’s blessing.
➌
Milk is a special blessing from Allah, which is a complete food.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
According to some researchers, this narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
And according to others, it is of the level of hasan (good).
As clarified in (al-Sahihah, Hadith: 2320).
Similarly, the researchers of Musnad Ahmad have also considered this opinion to be correct.
See (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah: 4/344, 345). Therefore, from this hadith it is understood that the dhab (sand lizard) is a lawful animal.
Otherwise, it would not have been eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
However, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself did not like to eat it.
➋
Common translators render the meaning of “dhab” as “sousmar” and “goh” (monitor lizard),
which is not correct in any way.
The sand lizard (saanda) is a grass-eating animal,
whereas the sousmar and goh eat frogs and lizards, etc.
The name for “goh” in Arabic
is “waral.”
The goh is larger than the sand lizard.
Zoologists write
that the waral,
the dhab,
and the wazagh (lizard) are very similar in appearance.
And the ahadith make it clear that lizards and the like should be killed,
whereas eating the dhab, i.e., the sand lizard, is permissible.
There is no mention of waral
(goh, sousmar) at all.
➌
It is obligatory to thank Allah for every blessing.
Especially, reciting the transmitted supplications after eating, drinking, and milk is an emphasized Sunnah.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that one should continue to give each other gifts of edible items. If someone does not like a particular food item or if a person is already full, he may refuse to eat the food. A gift of milk should not be returned. And when a person wishes to give someone a gift or any other item, he should first give it to the one on his right side. Whomever Allah Ta’ala wishes to feed something, then he cannot be prevented from it.
