إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَرْضَى عَنِ الْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الأَكْلَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ يَشْرَبَ الشَّرْبَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا
Allah is pleased with His servant who says: Al-Hamdu lillah while taking a morsel of food and while drinking.

What It Means: Reading in Context
The complete reported saying and the source’s English wording are retained. The source chapter describes praising Allah after eating and drinking, while the displayed English translation uses “while”. Follow the Arabic and full source when studying the wording and timing; this card does not establish a new ritual. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2734a. The quoted wording is the English translation of the reported saying. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
