David (peace be upon him) Reciting the Psalms and Eating from His Labor
Hadith 48
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خُفِّفَ عَلَى دَاوُدَ الْقُرْآنُ، فَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِدَوَابِّهِ تُسْرَجُ، فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُسْرَجَ دَابَّتُهُ، وَكَانَ لا يَأْكُلُ إِلا مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ "
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The recitation of the Psalms was made easy and light for David, peace be upon him. He would order the saddle to be fastened on his mount, and before the saddle was fastened, he would complete the recitation (of the Psalms). And he used to eat only from what he earned with his own hands."
