68 - The most important of blessings

عن عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ الخَطْمِيِّ رضي الله عنه، عن النبيِّ ﷺ قال: «مَنْ أَصْبَحَ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ، مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ، عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ يَوْمِهِ، فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا»

ꜤUbaydullāh ibn Miḥṣan al-Khaṭmī narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 

Whoever wakes up in the morning feeling secure in his dwelling place, enjoying good personal health, having enough food for the day is like one who has the world at his disposal.
