´It was narrated from Salamah bin ‘Ubaidullah bin Mihsan Al-Ansari that his father said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever among you wakes up physically healthy, feeling safe and secure within himself, with food for the day, it is as if he acquired the whole world.’”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Whoever is free from illness and fear, and possesses the necessities for a day, then this is a very great blessing.
➋ In our desire for more, we do not pay attention to the blessings that we already possess, and as a result, the feeling of gratitude does not arise in the heart.
➌ Whoever has the necessities for one day should express gratitude for that day, and should have hope that when tomorrow comes, Allah Ta'ala will also provide for his needs.

Explanation:
1:
The meaning is that a life of daily sustenance with safety and health is far better than a life filled with heaps of wealth that lacks safety and health. In other words, a person should not excessively chase after wealth and riches; rather, one should adopt the path of patience and contentment, for true peace, tranquility, and comfort lie therein.

It is established from this hadith that good health, well-being, and having provisions for a single day's food in the home are as if one possesses the entire world—Subhan Allah. In this hadith, there is a powerful statement regarding contentment (qana‘ah), and for those who are ungrateful, there is a great admonition in it.
