Jami at-Tirmidhi 1858 (Book 25, Hadith 75) #27487
Saying Bismillah Before Eating

SUMMARY: The hadith encourages people to say "Bismillah" before eating food, and if they forget in the beginning, they should still say it at the end.

Narrated Umm Kulthum: From 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah said: "When one of you eats food, then let him say: 'Bismillah'. If he forgets in the beginning, then let him say: 'Bismillah Fi Awwalihi Wa Akhirih (In the Name of Allah in its beginning and its end)"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَامًا فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ نَسِيَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Say "Bismillah" before eating food

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages us to remember Allah before we eat our food. We should always begin by saying “Bismillah” which means “In the name of Allah”. This is a reminder that everything we have comes from Allah and that He is providing for us. Even if we forget to say it in the beginning, we should still remember to say it at the end of our meal as a way of thanking Him for His blessings. By doing this, not only are we showing gratitude but also seeking protection from any harm that may come with what we are eating or drinking.
