It is narrated from a servant of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "who served the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for eight years," that whenever food was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would begin by saying Bismillah, and when he finished eating, he would recite this supplication: O Allah! You have fed and given drink, granted sufficiency and sustenance, You have granted guidance and life; all praise is due to You for Your bounties.
