Al-hamdu lillahi kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, ghayra makfiyyin wa la muwadda‘in wa la mustaghnan ‘anhu, Rabbana.
Abundant, pure and blessed praise belongs to Allah, our Lord. We cannot repay Him, leave Him, or do without Him.
Source and meaning
Sahih al-Bukhari 5458 records words said when the meal was finished and the dining arrangement taken away. The selected card follows that report.
Some Arabic clauses require careful explanation and do not map neatly to a single English word. Read the meaning as a rendering alongside the original, rather than using an isolated phrase to invent a new theological claim.
Keeping meal stages separate
Naming Allah before eating, the response when that was forgotten, and praise after eating have different reports and occasions. Learning the stages makes a simple routine clearer without creating one combined quotation.
A family may know another after-meal formula. Its words should keep their own reference instead of being substituted under Bukhari 5458 because the subject is the same.
Gratitude beyond the wording
Think about the provision received and the people whose work made the meal possible. Avoid waste and be considerate about cleaning, sharing and anyone’s dietary needs.
These are ordinary practical applications of gratitude. They are not extra compulsory steps established by this short narration or a way to calculate a guaranteed reward from a meal.
Common questions
Is the selected text the only after-meal wording? This page presents one report, not every narration. Must I add another familiar line? Keep additional quotations separately sourced. Is the longer forgotten-naming text used here? It belongs to remembering during the meal. How can a beginner learn? Begin with the meaning, practise small phrases and have pronunciation checked.
