Narrated Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, when ever he finished his meal, would say: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبُّنَا. (All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise. (Praise) that is not insufficient, nor is it bade farewell, nor is it unnecessary, O our Lord.) And when he was with the people who had prepared his meal, he would say: 'We have eaten, and the sustenance has remained, and Allah has willed it to remain. O Allah, provide for them.'
