728. 'Umar ibn Abu Salama said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to me, 'Say the name of Allah and eat with your right
hand and eat what is in front of you." [Agreed upon]

729. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'When one of you eats, he should mention the name of Allah
Almighty. If he forgets to mention the name of Allah Almighty at the beginning,
he should say, "In the name of Allah, the first of it and the last of it."'"
[Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

730. Jabir said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'When a man enters his house and mentions the name of
Allah Almighty both when he enters and when he eats, Shaytan says to his
companions, "You have no lodging and no meal." When he enters and does not
mention Allah Almighty when he enters, Shaytan says, "You have lodging." When he
does not mention Allah Almighty when he eats, he says, "You have lodging and a
meal."'" [Muslim]

731. Hudhayfa said, "When we went to eat with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, we did not put our hands in until the
Messenger of Allah had first put in his hand. Once we went for food with him and
a slavegirl came as if driven [by hunger] and began to put her hand in the food.
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took hold of
her hand. then a bedouin came as if driven [by hunger] and he also took hold of
his hand. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Shaytan tries to make food lawful for himself by not having the name of Allah
Almighty mentioned over it. He brought this slavegirl to make it lawful for
himself and so I took hold of her hand. Then he brought this bedouin to make it
lawful for himself and I took hold of his hand. By the One in whose name my soul
is, his hand is in my hand with their hands." Then he mentioned the name of
Allah Almighty and ate.'" [Muslim]

732. Umayya ibn Makhshi said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, was sitting with a man while he was eating. He did not say
'In the name of Allah' until one morsel of his food remained. When he lifted it
to his mouth, he said, 'In the name of Allah, the first of it and the last of
it.' The Messenger of Allah laughed and then said, 'Shaytan continued to eat
with him. When he mentioned the name of Allah, he vomited what was in his
stomach.'" [Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i]

733. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was eating some food along with six of his Companions when a desert Arab
came and ate it up in two mouthfuls. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'If he had said the name of Allah, it would have been
enough for all of you.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

734. Abu Umama reported that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, finished his meal, he would say, 'Much praise be to Allah, pure [free
of self seeking] and blessed praise, for food which is not final or conclusive
and of which our Lord has no need.'" [al-Bukhari]

735. Mu'adh ibn Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever eats food and says, 'Praise be to Allah
who gave me this and provided me with it without any strength or power on my
part,' will be forgiven his previous wrong actions." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]
