حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ جَنْدَلٍ الْيَافِعِيِّ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلی الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا فَقَرَّبَ طَعَامًا فَلَمْ أَرَ طَعَامًا کَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَکَةً مِنْهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَکَلْنَا وَلا أَقَلَّ بَرَکَةً فِي آخِرِهِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ کَيْفَ هَذَا قَالَ إِنَّا ذَکَرْنَا اسْمَ اللهِ حِينَ أَکَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ مَنْ أَکَلَ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی فَأَکَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 178
Abu Ayyub Ansaari Radiyallahu'Anhu reports: "We were once present in the assembly of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. Food was brought to him. 1 did not observe any food that had so much barakah at the beginning and at the end of which there was no barakah left in the food. We therefore asked Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam reason?. He replied: 'In the beginning we all recited 'Bismillah' before we began eating. Then someone in the end joined us, and did not recite ''Bismillah'. The shayiaan ate with him"'.
