Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7902

وَعَنِ امْرَأَةٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أُتِيَ بِوَطْبَةٍ فَأَخَذَهَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ بِثَلَاثِ لُقَمٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ قَالَ : بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ لَوَسِعَكُمْ " .
وَقَالَ : " إِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَى طَعَامِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ إِذَا ذَكَرَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
A woman says: "Watbah" (a particular dish made of dates, ghee and cheese) was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). A Bedouin took it in three morsels, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had he said 'Bismillah', this food would have been ample for you (or would have sufficed you)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you forgets to mention the name of Allah over his food, then when he remembers, he should say: 'Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu' (In the name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end)."
Abu Ya'la recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
