Hadith #86

Arabic Text

English Translation

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that “I entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I and Khalid bin Al-Walid, upon Maimunah so she brought us a vessel of milk. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank from it. I was upon his right and Khalid was upon left, so he said to me: ‘The (turn to) drink is for you, so if you wish, you could choose to grant it to Khalid.’ So I said: ‘I would not prefer anyone (above myself) for your leftovers.’ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever Allah feeds some food, then let him say: “O Allah, bless it for us, and feed us better than it, (Allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa aṭ`imnā khairan minhu)” and whomsoever Allah gives milk to drink, then let him say: “O Allah bless it for us, and grant us increase in it (Allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa zidnā minhu).” And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘There is nothing that suffices in the place of food and drink except for milk.’”
