English Translation

Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, he said: Saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb narrated to us, he said: Bakr ibn ʿAmr narrated to me, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Hubayrah, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr, that a man who served the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for eight years told him: He heard the Prophet ﷺ, when food was brought to him, say: Bismillāh (In the Name of Allāh). And when he finished his food, he would say: Allāhumma aṭʿamta wa-asqayta wa-aghnayta wa-aqnayta wa-hadayta wa-aḥyayta, fa-laka al-ḥamdu ʿalā mā aʿṭayta (O Allāh, You have fed, given drink, enriched, sufficed, guided, and given life, so to You is praise for what You have given).
