Recite:
|
|
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ
|
|
In the name of Allah and with the blessings of Allah I begin (eating)”.
(Mustadrak) |
|
On forgetting to recite Bismillah at the beginning, recite:
|
|
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ
|
|
“In the name of Allah in the beginning and end”.
|
|
By not reciting Bismillah, Satan has an opportunity of partake in the food.
