Narrated Sakhr al-Ghamidi: The Prophet ﷺ said: "O Allah, bless my people in their early mornings. " When he sent out a detachment or an army, he sent them at the beginning of the day. Sakhr was a merchant, and he would send off his merchandise at the beginning of the day; and he became rich and had much wealth. Abu Dawud said: He is Sakhr bin Wada'ah.
