Sakhr ibn Wada‘ah al-Ghamidi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "1 O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings." Whenever he sent out a detachment or army, he sent them at the beginning of the day. Sakhr was a merchant, and whenever he sent out a trade caravan, he sent it at the beginning of the day, so he prospered and his wealth increased.
