Source: Tirmidhi 3458. Jami' at-Tirmidhi is part of the six canonical collections; Imam at-Tirmidhi graded each narration's strength explicitly.

When to recite

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.

About this dua

Jami' at-Tirmidhi is another of the six canonical hadith collections. Imam at-Tirmidhi (d. 279 AH) graded each narration explicitly — most duas drawn from it are classified hasan (good) or sahih (authentic). 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.

Arabic text and references are presented as recorded in the source collections. For detailed authenticity grading or in-depth tafsir, consult a qualified scholar.
