Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to say when food was presented to him: 'O Allah, praise be to You as You have fed me and given me to drink. Praise be to You as You have sufficed me and given me water. Praise be to You for all the blessings.' And when a new food was brought to him, he would say: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ 'Alhamdulillah alladhi at'amani hadha wa razaqanihi min ghairi hawlin minni wa la quwwah.' (Translation: All praise is due to Allah Who has fed me this and provided it for me without any strength or power from my side.)
