Foreword

Whenever the meal was concluded the Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him, would say, ‘Praise be to God, in plenty, in the best form and in abundance. The praise, which we ourselves offer and the praise which does not desert us, and whose desire never leaves us and we do not become indifferent to praise (of God), O Our Lord.’ HADITH OF AL-BUKHARI ON THE AUTHORITY OF ABU UMAMAH.
