Question
Is there any Hadith regarding the morning having blessings (barakah) for work?
Answer
Sayyiduna Sakhr Al-Ghamidi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“O Allah! Bless my Ummah in their [work done in the] mornings.”
He (radiyallahu ‘anhu) also said:
When Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would dispatch an army, he would do so at the beginning of the day.”
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1212, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Hadith: 34306 and Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 4754 and 4755)
Declared sound (hasan) by Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) and authentic (sahih) by Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah)
The narrators of the above Hadith say regarding the Sahabi who reported the Hadith that he was a tradesman who would commence his trade early in the day. He thus became very wealthy.
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1212)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
