Supplication after finishing eating
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My father’s house, when his Lord comes, whether it is dinner or what comes on the earth, and he decided that one of you should cut off the praise of Allah who has benefited him. And he said, and he prays with the one who is with him, and he repeats to him with his words and answers the others, “O Lord of the worlds.” And he sees that the one who does not do this thing in this manner is ignorant of the blessing and does not answer and does not answer the illnesses. Is this what I am in this situation, and I do not like to leave it?
Answer:
What is prescribed when finishing eating is to say, “Praise be to Allah.” And if he supplicates for the host of the food,Sunan Ibn Majah 1747Sahih (Darussalam) and He mentioned you among those who are with him when he supplicates for the host of the food, or he says, “May Allah bless you,” or “May Allah give you barakah,” or something similar, there is nothing wrong with it. But committing to a specific supplication and not going beyond it, always repeating it, this has no basis. Rather, one supplicates with what is easy for him. Also, it is not required for people to be taught this supplication and to repeat it; this has no basis. One supplicates with what is easy for him. And if those present supplicate, “Praise be to Allah,” and if they do not supplicate, they are not obligated to. And this is not considered ingratitude for the blessing as he says.
It is sufficient to say, “Praise be to Allah”; this is what is prescribed. And whatever is added to it from supplication is an addition of good, and if it is left, it is not a sin. Yes.
