Hadeeth pertaining to Eating :

Hazrat Aishah Radiyallahu-Anha reported: Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “When any of you wants to eat, he should mention the Name of Allah in the begining, (i.e., say Bismillah). If he forgets to do it in the beginning, he should say Bismillah Awwalahu wa Aakhirahu ie ( I begin with the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end).” [At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]

Hazrat Mu’adh bin Anas Radiyallahu-Anhu reported: Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “He who has taken food and says at the end: ‘Al-hamdu lillahi-llazi at’amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any power),’ all his past sins will be forgiven. [At-Tirmidhi]
