On the authority of Hazrat Jabir Ibn Abdullah (RA), he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: When a person enters his house and says Bismillah while entering and eating, Satan says: There is no place for you to spend the night here, and no food. On the other hand, whoever does not say Bismillah when entering his house, Satan says: You have found a place to stay for the night. Then when that person does not say Bismillah during the meal, Shaytaan says (to his companions): You have found lodging and food for the night.
