Chapter on Eating and Drinking From Gold and Silver Utensils and Other Etiquettes of Eating
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا طَعِمَ قَالَ -: " اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَ سَقَانَا وَ كَفَانَا وَ أَيَّدَنَا وَ آوَانَا وَ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْنَا وَ أَفْضَلَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي "يُطْعِمُ وَ لاٰ يُطْعَمُ" ".
It is narrated from Abu Hamzah al-Thumali, from Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain عليه السلام, that whenever he ate, Imam عليه السلام would say: "All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Who fed us, gave us drink, sufficed us, supported us, sheltered us, blessed us, and bestowed His favor upon us. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Who feeds and is not fed."
