الذكر عند الطعام والشراب

بِسْمِ اللهِ. بِسْمِ اللَّه أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ.

In the name of Allah. If the name was forgotten at the beginning: In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end.

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 5376 · Sunan Abi Dawud 3767

Source and review note

Mention Allah’s name before eating; the beginning-and-end wording applies when it was forgotten.

الذكر عند شرب اللبن

اَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ, وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ.

O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it.

Reference: Jami at-Tirmidhi 3455

Source and review note

At-Tirmidhi called this report hasan; the Darussalam edition grades it weak. It is retained as a general supplication without a special reward or fixed count.

الذكر عند الفراغ من الطعام والشراب

الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا, وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِّنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا.

All praise belongs to Allah, who fed me this and provided it for me without power or strength from me. All praise belongs to Allah: abundant, good, blessed praise. Our Lord, Your provision cannot be repaid, abandoned, or dispensed with.

Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 4023 · Sahih al-Bukhari 5458

Source and review note

These are alternative reported forms of praise after food, not one combined fixed formula.
