٣١٥٤٦ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن هشام قال: كان أبي لا يؤتى بطعام ولا شراب حتى الشربة من الدواء فيشربه أو يطعمه حتى يقول: الحمد للَّه الذي هدانا وأطعمنا (وسقانا) (١) ونعمنا، (٢) اللَّه أكبر، اللهم (ألفتنا) (٣) نعمتك بكل (شر) (٤)، (فأصبحنا) (٥) وأمسينا منها بكل خير، (نسألك) (٦) تمامها وشكرها، لا خير إلا خيرك ولا إله غيرك، إله الصالحين ورب العالمين، الحمد للَّه رب العالمين، لا إله إلا اللَّه ما شاء اللَّه (٧) لا قوة إلا باللَّه، اللهم بارك لنا فيما رزقتنا وقنا عذاب النار.
Hazrat Hisham says that my father would not eat or drink anything, not even a drop of medicine, until he had recited these words: All praise is for Allah who guided us, fed us, gave us drink, and bestowed blessings upon us. Allah is the Greatest. O Allah! Your blessing has made us familiar with every good and protected us from every evil, so we have reached the morning and the evening with all goodness because of this blessing. We ask You for the completion of this blessing and for gratitude for it. There is no good except Your good, and there is no deity except You. O God of the righteous and Lord of all the worlds, all praise is for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. There is no deity except Allah. Whatever Allah wills happens. There is no power to do good except with His help. O Allah! Bless the sustenance You have provided for us and save us from the punishment of Hell.
