Narrated Salman al-Farsi:
I read in the Torah that the blessing of food consists in ablution before it. So I mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: The blessing of food consists in ablution before it and ablution after it.
Sufyan disapproved of performing ablution before taking food.
Abu Dawud said: It is weak.
