Daily Ben Ish Hai 1

Okay, Rabotai (gentlemen), the Ben Ish Chai writes a phenomenal thing. He says, what happens if a person is eating something and he's chayav (obligated) to make a Beracha Acharona (after-blessing)? He uses the facilities and says, “Now he has to say an Asher Yatzar.” So the question is: which one comes first, Asher Yatzar or Beracha Acharona? That's the question. So the Ben Ish Chai writes. So the Ben Ish Chai writes. So first he makes the Asher Yatzar, and only after he makes the Asher Yatzar does he make the Beracha Acharona. Why? Because what does a person do more commonly? He usually uses the facilities more often than he would make an Al HaMichya, or more often than he would make a Borei Nefashot. So therefore, since that is more common, tadir veshe'eino tadir, tadir kodem (the frequent precedes the infrequent). And therefore a person says, Asher Yatzar. Asher Yatzar, Asher Yatzar, Asher Yatzar. And only after that does he recite Beracha Acharona, Beracha Acharona.
