عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ صَخْرٍ الْغَامِدِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا“ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً أَوْ جَيْشًا بَعَثَهُمْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ قَالَ وَكَانَ صَخْرٌ رَجُلًا تَاجِرًا وَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ تِجَارَتَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَأَثْرَى وَكَثُرَ مَالُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sakhr Ghamidi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Bless my Ummah in their early mornings. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would send out an army, he would send them at the beginning of the morning. Sakhr was a merchant; he used to send his servants for trade in the early morning, and due to this blessing, so much wealth was gathered for him that he became wealthy and his wealth increased greatly.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … There are three reasons for the blessedness of this time: (1) the descent of blessing from Allah Ta‘ala, the freshness of one’s disposition, and (2) the abundance of time.
Now, in Pakistan, the month of August has begun; people finish the Fajr prayer at 4:30, and from 4:30 until the Dhuhr prayer, there is a period of eight to nine hours. However, the habit of the people of Pakistan is that they begin their daily routines at nine or ten o’clock, thereby wasting the first five or six blessed hours of the day.
In Karachi (Pakistan), a mechanic was told this hadith and was advised to open his workshop immediately after the Fajr prayer. Gradually, this time became well-known for him, and for many owners, it proved to be a very suitable time. Then, due to this time, Allah Ta‘ala placed so much blessing in his income that now he is the owner of a factory.
