((بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ [اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ] اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي)).

(In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest. O Allah, (it is) from You and belongs to You, O Allah, accept this from me.)

It opens with two declarations, the name of Allah and His greatness, before addressing Him directly. What follows is a statement of ownership made in both directions: it is from You and belongs to You. Only once that ownership is established does a request appear, and it is a single one — accept this from me. He is addressed twice, once before the statement and once before the request.
The chapter places these words at the slaughter or sacrifice of an animal.
What is offered is said to come from Him and to belong to Him before anything is asked. The only request made is that it be received.
