Remembrance 9 from Chapter 205

Allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa zidnā minh.

We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and at-Tirmidhī as well as the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that Ibn ‘Abbās reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “If any one of you eats food”—and in a narration by Ibn as-Sunnī “If Allah gives any one of you food”—“he should say: O Allah, bless us in it and give us better than it to eat. And anyone to whom Allah gives milk to drink should say: Allah, bless us in it and increase it for us; for there is nothing but milk that suffices both as a food and a drink in satiating hunger.” ^[8].At-Tirmidhī endorsed this hadith as ḥasan.
