1858. Umm Kulthūm narrated from 'Āishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When one of you eats food, then let him say: 'Bismillāh.' If he forgets in the beginning, then let him say: 'Bismillāh Fī Awwalihi Wa Ākhirih' (In the Name of Allāh in its beginning and its end.)"
It is narrated with this chain of narration, from 'Āishah who said: "The Prophet ﷺ was eating food with six of his Companions. A Bedouin came and ate it in two mouthfuls. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "As for him, had he mentioned (Allāh's Name), it would have been enough for all of you." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. [Umm Kulthūm is the daughter of Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq, may Allāh be pleased with them.]

Commentary
One must begin his food with Bismillāh. In case a person forgets to say it in the beginning, let him remedy the lapse by saying Bismillāhi Fī Awwalihi Wa Ākhirih as soon as he is reminded of it.
