Riyad as-Salihin, 957

Sakhr bin Wada'ah Al-Ghamidi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Bless my people in the early part of the day (morning). Whenever he dispatched a detachment or an army-unit, he would dispatch it at the beginning of the day (soon after dawn). The narrator, Sakhr (May Allah be pleased with him) was a merchant, and he used to send off his merchandise at the beginning of the day. So his trade flourished and he made a good fortune. [At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].

وعن صخر بن وداعة الغامدي الصحابي رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ “اللهم بارك لأمتي في بكورها‏"‏ وكان إذا بعث سرية أو جيشاً بعثهم من أول النهار‏.‏ وكان صخر تاجراً فكان يبعث تجارته أول النهار، فأثري وكثر ماله” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for his Ummah that Allah bless for it the early part of the daytime, when the day begins and work starts. It is the superior time of the day. 2) It shows this Prophetic supplication’s impact in the lives of individuals and the Ummah as a whole, as those who act upon this instruction, in compliance with the Sunnah, get blessing and increase.
