One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Brother, i came across this Hadith from the following link. But since its not clear i am finding it tough to read. Can you just translate it in English and tell me. I'm sure you would not mind but you can take your time. Also if you can find out the meaning it would be great.

Ans Bin Malik (Radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Rasul-Allah said, "Whenever you eat or drink, read this, then you will not get any illness even if it has poison.

Answer:

 

Meaning of dua while eating

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: Can you just translate it in English and tell me.

 

(Bismillahi wa billah aladhi laa yadhurro ma’a Ismehi shayyin fil-arde wala fis-samaaye; Yaa Hayyo, Yaa Qayyum)

 

In the Name of Allah, that Allah with Whose Name nothing can cause harm in the earth or the heavens; O Ye Who is The Ever-Living, O Ye Who is The Self-Subsisting Eternal.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
