حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ رَاشِدٍ الْيَافِعِيِّ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَرَّبَ طَعَامًا فَلَمْ أَرَ طَعَامًا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَكَلْنَا، وَلَا أَقَلَّ بَرَكَةً فِي آخِرِهِ، قُلْنَا: كَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنَّا ذَكَرْنَا اسْمَ اللهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] حِينَ أَكَلْنَا، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ بَعْدُ مَنْ أَكَلَ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ.

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ one day, and he brought food close. I have not seen food greater in blessing at the beginning when we ate, nor less in blessing at its end. We said: "How is this, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Because we mentioned the name of Allah [Mighty and Majestic] when we ate. Then afterwards, some of those who ate sat without mentioning His name, and the devil ate with him."
