Riyad as-Salihin, 733
Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) finished a meal, he would say: "Al-hamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran taiyyiban mubarakan fihi, ghaira makfiyyin wa la muwadda`in, wa la mustaghnan `anhu, Rabbuna. (All praise is due to Allah, praise which is abundant, pure, and full of blessings, which is indispensable and to which one cannot be indifferent).'' <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
وعن أبى أمامة رضى الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا رفع مائدته قال:
الحمد لله حمداً كثيراً طَيِّباً مباركاً فيه، غير مكفى ولامودع، ولا مستغنى عنه ربنا
.((رواه البخارى))

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) After a person eats food, he should praise his Lord, for He alone deserves praise and He alone is the Bestower of favors.<br>
2) All servants stand in need of their Lord in terms of their sustenance and very existence, whereas He does not need them and He bestows favors upon them.
