حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ
بُدَيْلٍ , عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ , أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْهُمْ , يُقَالُ لَهَا :
أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ , عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ طَعَامًا فِي سِتَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ , فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَائِعٌ فَأَكَلَهُ بِلُقْمَتَيْنِ , فَقَالَ :
" أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكَفَاكُمْ , فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ , فَلْيَذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللَّهِ , فَإِنْ نَسِيَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ , فَلْيَقُلْ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ " .
It is narrated from 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 upon remembering, he should say: BISMILLAHI FI AWWALIHI WA AKHIRIHI.
