((الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا، وَرَزَقَنِيهِ، مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ)).

Context & meaning
The praise names two separate acts rather than one. He fed the speaker this, and He provided for the speaker — the first tied to the meal just eaten, the second broader than it. The closing phrase then withdraws the speaker from both, saying they happened without any power or strength from me. Nothing is asked for anywhere in the sentence.
When & how to recite
The chapter places these words once eating is finished.
Reflection
The word this points at something particular while provided does not. One clause is fixed to the meal in front of the speaker and the other reaches well past it.
