Riyad as-Salihin, 1463
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) went to his bed, he would say: "Al-hamdu lillah-illadhi at'amana wa saqana, wa kafana wa awana, fakam mimman la kafiya lahu wa la mu'wiya (Praise is due to Allah Who has fed us, provided us drink, satisfied us and gave us protection. Many are those who have no one to provide for them, or give them shelter)." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، كان إذا أوى فراشه قال:
الحمد لله الذي أطعمنا وسقانا، وكفانا وآوانا، فكم ممن لا كافي له ولا مئوي
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The slave’s acknowledgment of his Lord’s favor upon him entails that he should show gratefulness to Him for all His favors.<br>
2) Realizing the great favor of Allah in having sufficiency and shelter, for there are so many people who are deprived of these blessings. Definitely, a slave must react to these blessings with showing gratitude in order for them to last and grow.
