Ibn Abi Awfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given food, he would say: 'O Allah, bless us in what You have provided us, and be better than it for us (meaning: make it beneficial for us and compensate us if it was short). And when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given milk, he would say: 'O Allah, bless us in it and increase us in it.' He said: 'I do not know of anything that could not be measured except for milk.' (Sahih Muslim 2042)
