There is no harm in supplicating for one who has eaten or drunk with well-being (al-afiyah) or other good things, though it is more appropriate to supplicate for their enjoyment (al-hana') because of Allah's saying: "So eat it with enjoyment and ease" (Quran 4:4) and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "It is more enjoyable, more digestible, and more healing." Similarly, there is no harm in supplicating for blessing (barakah) for one who has received a new bounty.
