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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ي
َوْمًا فَقَرَّبَ طَعَامًا فَلَمْ أَرَ طَعَامًا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَكَلْنَا وَلَا أَقَلَّ بَرَكَةً فِي آخِرِهِ قُلْنَا كَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِأَنَّا ذَكَرْنَا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ أَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ بَعْدُ مَنْ أَكَلَ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were with the Prophet ﷺ one day and he served food. I never saw any food that was more blessed at the beginning of our eating and less blessed at the end. We said: How is this, O Messenger of Allah? He said: 'Because we mentioned the name of Allah when we began eating, but then someone joined who did not mention the name of Allah, so the Devil ate with him.'
