حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ صُبْحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَصَحِبْتُهُ إِلَى وَاسِطٍ
وَكَانَ يُسَمِّي فِي أَوَّلِ طَعَامِهِ، وَفِي آخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ يَقُولُ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُسَمِّي فِي أَوَّلِ مَا تَأْكُلُ، أَرَأَيْتَ قَوْلَكَ فِي آخِرِ مَا تَأْكُلُ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ ؟ قَالَ: أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ: إِنَّ جَدِّي أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ مَخْشِيٍّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ، فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ حَتَّى كَانَ فِي آخِرِ طَعَامِهِ لُقْمَةٌ، فَقَالَ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: مَا زَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى سَمَّى، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي بَطْنِهِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قَاءَهُ

✧ He used to mention the name of Allah at the beginning of his meal, and at the last morsel he would say: 'In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end.' I said to him: 'You mention the name of Allah at the beginning of what you eat. What about your saying at the end of what you eat: "In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end?"' He said: 'I will tell you about that. My grandfather Umayyah b. Makhshī, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, I heard him say: "A man was eating while the Prophet ﷺ was watching. He did not mention the name of Allah until the last morsel of his food. He said: 'In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'The devil kept eating with him until he mentioned the name of Allah, then nothing remained in his stomach but he vomited it.'"
