قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ أُسَمِّي عَلَى الطَّعَامِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَتِ الْآنِيَةُ فَسَمِّ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنَاءٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ نَسِيتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَ قَالَ تَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَوَّلِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ.
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Dawood who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘How shall I Name (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) upon the meal?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When there are different vessels, so Name (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) upon each vessel’. I said, ‘So if I forget to Name (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should be saying, ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> upon its first and its last’.
