Supplication after finishing eating

Question:
He says: My father, when he comes home, I am patient, and whether he has eaten or not, he reads and we read after him and praise Allah for it. We have become older than him, and he answers them saying, "There is no harm, O Lord of the worlds." He believes that whoever does not say this thing in this manner is ignorant of His blessings and does not answer anyone except Allah. So, is this the case? And do not forget this image and what is in it of excellence.

Answer:
The prescribed practice after finishing eating is to say, "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah). If he supplicates for the host, he says, "The righteous ate your food, the angels blessed you, and Allah mentioned you among those with Him." If he supplicates for the host, or says, "May Allah bless you," or "May Allah give you barakah," or something similar, that is fine. However, adhering to a specific supplication and always repeating it without going beyond it has no basis in the evidence. One should supplicate with whatever is easy for him. Also, it has no basis to make people recite this specific supplication and have them repeat it. One should supplicate with whatever is easy for him. As for those present, if they supplicate, they say, "Alhamdulillah," and if they do not, there is no harm. It is not considered ingratitude for Allah's blessings, as he claims. It is sufficient to say, "Alhamdulillah," as that is the prescribed practice. Any additional supplication is an extra good, and if one leaves it, there is no harm in that.
