A eating & drinking supplication from the Sunnah, narrated in Hisnul Muslim.
Bismillahi wa 'ala barakatillah
In the name of Allah and upon the blessings of Allah.
Source: Hisnul Muslim (popular formula; weak chain — the established Sunnah is simply 'Bismillah', Sahih Muslim 2022). This narration appears in Sahih Muslim, alongside Sahih al-Bukhari among the highest-authenticity hadith sources.
This dua attaches to the moment of eating — either at the start or just after. The wording itself tells you the intention: gratitude for sustenance you didn't earn alone.
Sahih Muslim, compiled by Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (d. 261 AH), is paired with Sahih al-Bukhari as the two most rigorously authenticated hadith collections. Together they form the highest tier of hadith literature. The Prophetic etiquette around food is detailed: name Allah at the start, eat with the right hand, eat from what's in front of you, and thank Allah at the end. The supplications are short — they're meant to be habit-sized, not ritual-sized.
