Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'When a man enters his house and mentions Allah Most High at the time of entering and at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have no place to spend the night and no food.' When he enters and does not mention Allah Most High at the time of entering, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night.' When he does not mention Allah Most High at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night and have food.' (This hadith is found in Sunan Abi Dawud, and authenticated by Al-Albani).
