Mentioning the name of Allah and Tahmid (All Praise Belongs to Allah) over the Food

24. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid from ’Isma‘il al-Mada’iniy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, commanded to bring meat but it became cold and later it was brought. He (the Imam) said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who made me to have the appetite for it.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Bounty in good health is better than the bounty with constraints.”’
