Hadith 26089

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ , عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا : أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ فِي سِتَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ , فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَائِعٌ فَأَكَلَ بِلُقْمَتَيْنِ , فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ لَكَفَاكُمْ , فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللَّهِ , فَإِنْ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَ اللَّهَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ , فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ " .
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting and eating food with his six companions (may Allah be pleased with them) when a Bedouin came and ate all the food in just two bites. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he had recited Bismillah, this food would have sufficed for all of you. Therefore, when any one of you eats food, he should recite Bismillah over it. If he forgets to recite Bismillah at the beginning, then when he remembers, he should say: "Bismillah fi awwalihi wa akhirihi."
