Sunan Ibn Majah 3322 (Book 29, Hadith 72) #32676
The Blessing of Food and Drink from Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith encourages people to be thankful for the food and drink they are given by Allah, and to ask for more of it.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever is given food by Allah, let him say: Allahumma barik lana fihi wa arzuqna khairan minhu (O Allah, bless it for us and provide us with something better than it). And whoever is given milk to drink by Allah, let him say: Allahumma barik lana fihi wa zidna minhu (O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it). For I do not know of any food or drink that suffices, apart from milk".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ طَعَامًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَارْزُقْنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ ‏.‏ وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ لَبَنًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ فَإِنِّي لاَ أَعْلَمُ مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ إِلاَّ اللَّبَنُ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad is teaching us about the importance of being grateful for what we have been given by Allah. He encourages us to say a special supplication when we are given food or drink, thanking Allah for it and asking Him for something better. The Prophet also reminds us that no matter how much food or drink we have, nothing can truly satisfy us except milk. This teaches us that even if we have plenty of material possessions, our true satisfaction comes from our relationship with God. We should always remember to thank Him for all that He has provided us with.
