Riyad as-Salihin 734 (Book 2, Hadith 8) #37223
Expressing Gratitude to Allah for Food

SUMMARY: All sins will be forgiven if one expresses gratitude to Allah for providing food.

Mu'adh bin Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "He who has taken food and says at the end: 'Al- hamdu lillahi-lladhi at'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any power),' all his past sins will be forgiven". Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi.
وعن معاذ بن أنس رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏من أكل طعاماً فقال‏:‏ الحمد الله الذي أطعمني هذا، ورزقنيه من غير حول منى ولا قوةٍ، غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه‏"‏ ‏‏.‏((رواه أبو داود والترمذي))

Expressing gratitude towards God

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about expressing gratitude to Allah for the food He has provided us. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that if someone takes food and says “Al-hamdu lillahi-lladhi at'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin” (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any power), then all their past sins will be forgiven. This teaches us that we should always express our gratitude towards Allah for the blessings He has bestowed upon us. We should remember that everything we have comes from Him and not take it for granted. It also shows us how powerful our words can be; by simply expressing our thanks we can receive forgiveness from God!
