حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ صُبْحٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَصَحِبْتُهُ إِلَى وَاسِطٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ سَمَّى فَإِذَا صَارَ فِي آخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ قَالَ
بِسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَدِّي أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ مَخْشِيٍّ حَدَّثَنِي وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُسَمِّ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ لُقْمَةٍ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا زَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَالَ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ فَقَاءَ الشَّيْطَانُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَكَلَهُ

✧ In the name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end. So I asked him about that and he said, "My grandfather, Umayyah ibn Makhshiyya, narrated to me that he was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ. There was a man who used to eat with the Prophet ﷺ but he would not mention the name of Allah before eating. Then, when he was in the last morsel, he would say, 'In the name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The devil was eating with him until he mentioned the name of Allah at the beginning and at the end, and then the devil vomited out everything he had eaten.'"
