Allaah’s Messenger said, “The greatest of all women in blessing is the least of them in expenses.” (Ahmad)
Anas narrated that Allaah’s Messenger told him, “Whenever you enter your house, say ‘Salaam’ for that will be blessing upon you and upon your family.” (At-Tirmidhee)
Aboo Bakr was able to visit a sick person and feed a destitute before the Fajr prayer. He was also fasting on the same day. Abu Hurayrah reported that Allaah’s Messenger said: Who amongst you is observing fast this day? Aboo Bakr said: It is I. He (again) said: Who amongst you has followed the bier today? Aboo Bakr said: It is I. He (the Prophet) again said: Who amongst you has served food to the needy? Aboo Bakr said: It is I. He (again) said: Who amongst you has today visited the sick? Aboo Bakr said: It is I. Thereupon Allaah’s Messenger said: “If these [noble qualities] are combined in a person he will enter Paradise.” (Muslim)
“Blessing comes into the middle of the food. Eat from its sides and do not eat from its middle.” (At-Tirmidhee)
The Messenger of Allaah also recommended that fingers and the plate should be thoroughly licked after eating in order to attain blessings. He said, “For you do not know in which part of [your food] is blessing.” (Muslim)
The most blessed and the most beneficial water is Zamzam. Allaah’s Messenger said, “It is blessed. It is food that nourishes.” (Muslim)
Eating together brings blessing as disunity causes the removal of blessing. The companions of Allaah’s Messenger told him, “Allaah’s Messenger, we eat but we are not satisfied. He said: Perhaps you eat separately. They replied: Yes. He said: If you gather together at your food and mention Allah’s name, you will be blessed in it.” (Aboo Daawood)
Laylatul-Qadr is a blessed and highly honourable night. Allaah says,
“We sent it (this Qur’aan) down on a blessed night.”
(Ad-Dukhaan 44:3)
The Prophet supplicated for Allaah’s blessing in the beginning of the day. He said, “O Allaah! Bless for my Ummah [in what they do] early in the morning.” Sleeping after Fajr prayer and before the sunset makes one miss the beauty of the day.
