1212. 'Umārah bin Ḥadīd narrated from Ṣakhr Al-Ghāmīdī that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O Allāh bless my Ummah in what they do early (in the day)." He said: "Whenever he ﷺ would
dispatch a military expedition or an army, he would send them in the first part of the day.”
And Šakhr, a man who was a merchant, used to send his goods for trade during the beginning of the day, so he became rich, and his wealth increased.
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Alī, Buraidah, Ibn Mas’ūd, Anas, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbās, and Jābir. (Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Šakhr Al-Ghāmīdī is a Hasan Hadīth. We do not know of a narration that Šakhr Al-Ghāmīdī reported from the Prophet ﷺ other than this Hadīth. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported this Hadīth from Shu’bah, from Ya’lā bin ‘Aṭā’.
