The Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) always said: "Bismillah" before he started to
eat. One day as he and his Companions were eating a hungry man joined them and
forgot to say Bismillah, as he was about to take the last bite he remembered and said:
"Bismillah in its beginning at end", whereupon the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
informed that until that point satan, the stoned and cursed, had been eating with him, but
when he heard him say this he vomited all that he had eaten.
One day Omar, Abi Salamah's son entered while food was being served. The Prophet
(salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) invited him to sit down and told him: "O my son, come near
and recite 'Bismillah' and eat with your right hand from the portion which is in front of
you." He also told his Companions to use their right hand alone to eat and drink with as
satan eats and drinks with his left hand.
After he finished eating he would thank Allah saying: "Praise be to Allah who fed us, and
given us drink, and made us Muslims."
