الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبُّنَا

Narrated Abu Umamah: When the table was set for the Prophet (ﷺ), he would say: 'Allahumma lak al-hamdu kathiran tayyiban mubaarakan feehi ghayra makfiyyin wa laa mudawwa'in wa laa mustaghnan 'anhu Rabbuna.' (O Allah, praise be to You, much, good, and blessed praise. It is not sufficient, nor is it bid farewell to, nor is one independent of it, our Lord.)
