Responsa על ברכות 78:10
Maharach Or Zarua Responsa
Q - A and B were seated at a meal, and one type of wine was served to A, and another type to B. Can A's recitation of the blessing "Hatov Ve - Hamaytiv" release B from the obligation of reciting this benediction, and be considered as if B recited it himself?
A - A's recitation of the blessing "Hatov VeHayaytiv" does not release B from the obligation of reciting the benediction.
R. Hayyim Eliezer notes that he heard R. Meir b. Baruch state how perchance when the latter would mention G-d's name in vain, he would immediately recite: "Blessed be His name, whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever".
