A eating & drinking supplication recorded in the Abu Dawud 2357 tradition.
Dhahabaz-zama'u wabtallatil-'uruqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha Allah
The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.
Source: Abu Dawud 2357. Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections; most of its supplication narrations are authentic or hasan.
Recite this before you take your first bite. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was explicit about naming Allah before food — it transforms an ordinary meal into a small act of worship.
Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections (Kutub al-Sittah). Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani (d. 275 AH) focused on legal and devotional hadith. Most narrations are sound; he noted weak ones explicitly when included. 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.
