Dua After Eating or Drinking

Ahaadeeth which are proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):

It was narrated from Abu Umaamah that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had finished eating – and one time he said, When the table was cleared – he would say:

Arabic: “Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi kafaana wa arwaana ghayra makfiyyin wa laa makfoor.

English: Praise be to Allaah Who has satisfied our needs and quenched our thirst. Your favour cannot be compensated or denied.”

 

And on one occasion he said:

Arabic:“Al-hamdu Lillaahi rabbina ghayr mukfiyyin wa laa muwadda’in wa la mustaghna rabbana.

English: Praise be to Allaah our Lord. Your favour cannot be compensated, nor can be left, nor can be dispensed with, O our Lord).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5459.

It was narrated that Abu Ayyoob al-Ansaari said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ate or drank something, he would say:

Arabic: “Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi at’ama wa saqaa wa sawwaghahu wa ja’ala lahu makhrajan

English: Praise be to Allaah Who has given food and drink, dame it easy to swallow and has made a way out for it.Narrated by Abu Dawood (3851) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Saheehah (2061).

 

WEAK/DAEEF Hadith

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ate or drank something, he would say, ‘Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi at’amana wa saqaana wa ja’alana Muslimeen (Praise be to Allaah Who has given us food and drink and made us Muslims).”Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3850; al-Tirmidhi, 3457.

Shaykh al-‘Albaani said in his commentary on al-Kalim al-Tayyib (189) by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah:

Its isnaad is da’eef, because the narrators were confused about it,

as explained by al-Haafiz in al-Tahdheeb; and

al-Haafiz al-Mazzi before him in Tuhfat al-Ashraaf, 3/353-354;

Imam al-Bukhaari before them in al-Taareekh al-Kabeer, 1/1/353-354;

al-Nasaa’i in al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah, 288-290. And

al-Tirmidhi, despite his well known lenience, did not class it as hasan
