Saying Alhamdulillah After Eating
Author: Imran Ayyub Lahori
❶ Abu Umāmah (RA) reported:
When the tablecloth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was lifted, he would say:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّباً مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِي وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنَى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا
"All praise is for Allah — abundant, pure, and blessed. We could not fully fulfill the right of this food, nor is it a farewell forever, nor are we independent of it, O our Lord!"
Bukhari: 5458, Kitāb al-Aṭʿimah: Bāb Mā Yaqūlu Idhā Faragha Min Ṭaʿāmihi
❷ Muʿādh ibn Anas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"Whoever, after eating, says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى أَطْعَمَنِى هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِّنِّى وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
'All praise is for Allah Who fed me this and provided it for me without any power or might from myself,'
his past sins will be forgiven."
Hasan: Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl: 1989; Tirmidhi: 3458; Ibn Mājah: 3285; Ahmad: 3/439; Abu Dawood: 4023; al-Ḥākim: 1/507
