Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 12, Hadith 100

It was narrated from Sakhr Al-Ghamidi that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings (i.e., what they do early in the morning).” (Hasan)He said: “When he sent out a raiding party or an army, he would send them at the beginning of the day.” He said: (1) “Sakhr was a man engaged in trade, and he used to send his goods out at the beginning of the day, and his wealth grew and increased.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ، عَنْ صَخْرٍ الْغَامِدِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏
“‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً أَوْ جَيْشًا بَعَثَهُمْ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ صَخْرٌ رَجُلاً تَاجِرًا فَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ تِجَارَتَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَأَثْرَى وَكَثُرَ مَالُهُ ‏.‏

Ungraded

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Ibn Majah’s Sunan is an integral part of the six most revered hadith collections in Sunni Islam. Compiled in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE), this volume consists of about 4,000 hadiths that span a vast range of Islamic sciences. Readers will find chapters dedicated to creed, the intricacies of devotional practices, guidelines for ethical behavior, and legal opinions on social conduct. A critical aspect of this collection is that it is often subject to more scrutiny regarding its authenticity. Experts in hadith criticism have pointed out that it contains a number of narrations considered weak or problematic when measured against the rigorous standards of the other five books. Even so, it is an indispensable work for those pursuing advanced Islamic studies.
