"Read in the name of your Lord who created" (al-ʿAlaq 96:1) and in His saying [Hūd 11:41]: "In the name of Allāh is its course and its anchorage," and in the saying of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "Whoever slaughtered before the prayer should slaughter another in its place, and whoever did not slaughter should slaughter in the name of Allāh."

And similarly, his saying (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "When a man enters his house and mentions the name of Allāh upon entering and upon eating, Satan says: 'You have no lodging and no dinner here.'"
