Brothers and sisters, do you often feel hungry after you’ve eaten? Do you find yourself eating a lot, but still feel that it was not enough?
Do you know that even the Companions complained about this to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ?
.
The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: “O Messenger of Allah, we eat, but we are not satisfied.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Perhaps you eat separately.” They replied: “Yes.”
🔵 So the Prophet ﷺ said: “If you gather together at your food, and mention Allah’s Name, you will be blessed in it.” [Abi Dawud 3764 | Graded Hasan by Al-Albani]
.
From this hadith, we learn that there are two things we need to do for our food to be blessed by Allah, and therefore be sufficient for us:
(1) Share the food! Eat with others, don’t eat individually. Try setting a time at your home, where your family members all eat together at the same time.
(2) And say bismillah before we eat.
.
It is such a simple thing to do, in shaa Allah! May Allah grant barakah in our sustenance and provisions, ameen.
#Barakah
