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

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ وَ سَمَّى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ .
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ’Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajj aj who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘When the table of food is made available and a man among them says, ’In the name of Allah’, it is sufficient for all of them.’”
