Question: Someone mentioned that this is the supplication for after eating: ((اللهم أطعمت وأسقيت وأقنيت وهديت وأحييت، فللك الحمد على ما أعطيت). Can I read this supplication?
Answer: This supplication is authentically established and is found in Musnad Ahmad. Sheikh Al-Albani has included it in both Sahih Al-Jami and Silsilat Al-Sahihah.
When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) began eating, he would say Bismillah (In the name of Allah), and when he finished eating, he would recite this supplication: (اللهم أطعمت وأسقيت وأقنيت وهديت وأحييت، فللك الحمد على ما أعطيت).
عن عبدالرحمن بن جُبَير أنه حَدَّثَه رجلٌ خَدَمَ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثمان سنين، قال: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا قُرِّبَ له طعام قال: “بسم الله” فإذا فرغ من طعامه قال: “اللهُمَّ أَطْعَمْتَ وَأَسْقَيْتَ، وَأَغْنَيْتَ، وَأَقْنَيْتَ، وَهَدَيْتَ، وَاجْتَبَيْتَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ على ما أَعْطَيْتَ”.
Translation: “O Allah! You have fed, You have given drink, You have satisfied, You have guided, and You have given life. All praise is due to You for the blessings You have bestowed.”
