Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ رَاشِدٍ الْيَافِعِيِّ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَقَرَّبَ طَعَامًا فَلَمْ أَرَ طَعَامًا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَكَلْنَا وَلَا أَقَلَّ بَرَكَةً فِي آخِرِهِ قُلْنَا كَيْفَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لِأَنَّا ذَكَرْنَا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حِينَ أَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ بَعْدُ مَنْ أَكَلَ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ.
English Translation
Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Rashid al-Yafi'i, from Habib ibn Aws, from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari: that he said: We were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, one day, and food was brought near; I never saw food more blessed at its beginning, when we ate it, nor less blessed at its end. We said: How is this, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Because we mentioned the name of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, when we began eating; then afterward someone sat down and ate without mentioning Allah's name, so the devil ate along with him.
