إِذَا أَكَلْتَ الطَّعَامَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَمَّى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُسَمِّ أَكَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِذَا سَمَّى بَعْدَ مَا يَأْكُلُ وَ أَكَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ مَعَهُ تَقَيَّأَ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانَ أَكَلَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When you eat the food, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’ at the beginning of it and at its end, for if the servant Names (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) before he eats, the Satan<sup>la</sup> does not eat with him, but when he does not Name (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>), the Satan<sup>la</sup> does eat with him. So when he Names (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) after having eaten, and the Satan<sup>la</sup> had eaten with him, the Satan<sup>la</sup> vomits what he had eaten’.
