الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذَاقَنِي طَعَامَهُ وَسَقَانِيَ مَاءَهُ وَعَافَانِي مِنْ جَوْفِي وَجَعَلَهُ لِي رَاحَةً

Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Excellence in Islam means to leave that which does not concern you. When one of you finishes his prayer, he should prostrate himself to Allah and say: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, three times, then say: All praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Then he should say: O Allah, to You belongs praise as befits the majesty of Your Countenance and the greatness of Your authority. Then he should say: All praise is for Allah Who gave me to taste it and gave me to drink it and granted me well-being in my body and made it a relief for me.' Al-Albani graded it Hasan.
