3264. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was eating food with six of his Companions when a Bedouin came and ate it all in two bites. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If he had said Bismillāh, it would have sufficed you (all). When any one of you eats food, let him say Bismillāh, and if he forgets to say Bismillāh at the beginning, let him say Bismillāh fi awwalihī wa ākhirih (In the Name of Allāh at the beginning and at the end).'" (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Pronouncement of Allâh's Name brings blessing to the meal and a little meal suffices many people.
b. If a few persons share the same dish, all of them should pronounce Bismillâh. If any one of them eats without mentioning the Name of Allâh the blessings vanishes.
