Don’t Provide for Satan
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال النبي – قال إبلِيسُ يا ربِّ كُلُّ خَلْقِكَ بَيَّنْتَ رِزْقَهُ فَفِيمَ رِزْقِي قَالَ فِيمَ لَمْ يُذكَر اسمِي عَلَيه
Ibn Abbass (Radi Allahu Anhu ) narrated the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa salam ) said, “Ibliss said,” My Lord, all of your creation has its own share of provisions written already, so what will be my share of provisions. Allah said, “Everything in which My Name isn’t mentioned over.”[1]
Lessons from this Subject
Shaykh Zaid Al-Madkhali (May Allah have mercy on him) said: “This hadith explains some issues related to Aqeedah (the belief system of the Muslim). Allah has proportioned the provisions for each and every one of His creation. He has taught us what Halal is and thus made it lawful for us, and what is Haraam; therefore prohibiting it for us. Hence when Iblis wanted to know what his provisions were Allah told him , “Everything in which my name isn’t mentioned over.” For that reason the Muslim has been ordered to say, Bismillah” before eating, drinking, Wudu, Ghusl and sex and so forth.
Saying the Basamallah is either recommended or obligatory when eating or having relations, and if a person doesn’t say it when eating, then the devil eats with him.
In closing, saying the BasamAllah repels Ibliss and grants one the protection of Ar-Rahman.

السلام عليكم أخي الكريم أبو عالية
Akhi as i am pleased to have come across your website and work, may Allah bless u in it and reward u for it, i couldnt help but point out a glaring mistake i think u may have made.
You translated the hadith writing “Ibliss My Lord…”, I believe its “Iblees said/asked:..”. For a while I thought someone hacked you’re site and rearranged the wording subhanAllah, but i think its just a typo. Anyways as u look over it I’m sure u can see where my concern is lying and i really hope this doesnt come off pretentious or the like.
By the way, you’re recent article on how to treat wives was a breath of fresh air and greatly needed, again
جزاك الله خيرا و بارك الله
فيك
