Remembrance & praise

Said after finishing a meal

Three words describing the praise itself rather than the food.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ، وَلاَ مُوَدَّعٍ وَلاَ مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ، رَبَّنَا

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi kathīran ṭayyiban mubārakan fīh, ghayra makfiyyin wa lā muwaddaʿin wa lā mustaghnan ʿanhu rabbanā.

“All praise is for Allah, abundant, good and blessed praise. Our Lord, we are never able to repay it, nor leave it, nor do without it.”

The full narration

Narrated Abu Umama:Whenever the dining sheet of the Prophet (ﷺ) was taken away (i.e., whenever he finished his meal), he used to say: "Al-hamdu li l-lah kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi ghaira makfiy wala muWada` wala mustaghna'anhu Rabbuna
