بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ

Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirah

In the Name of Allah, at its beginning and at its end.

SahihAbu Dawud 3767, At-Tirmidhi 1858

The Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you eats, let him mention the Name of Allah. If he forgets to mention the Name of Allah at the beginning, let him say: 'Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirah.'" Forgetting is human — Islam doesn't punish you for it. Instead, it gives you a recovery phrase that retroactively covers the entire meal.
