To what extent is the following Hadith authentic: "It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah Almighty be pleased with him, that a man invited the Messenger of Allah, may Allah Almighty bless him and grant him peace, to a meal. So we went with him. When he had eaten and washed his hand – or he said: his hands – he said: 'All praise is due to Allah, who feeds and is not fed, who has bestowed His grace upon us and guided us, and fed us and given us drink, and has tested us with every good trial. All praise is due to Allah, without farewell, nor recompense, nor ingratitude, nor being dispensed with, our Lord. All praise is due to Allah, who has given food to eat, and drink to quench thirst, and clothed from nakedness, and guided from error, and given sight from blindness. All praise is due to Allah, who has greatly preferred me over many of His creation'"?
The aforementioned Hadith was narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, and by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, who said: "This Hadith is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, though they did not narrate it." It was also narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, An-Nasa'i, and others with similar wordings. Sheikh Al-Albani described its chain of narration as "Hasan" (good).
