Narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When a man enters his house and remembers Allah the Exalted at the time of his entry and at the time of his food, then Satan says: 'You have no place to pass the night and no food.' When he enters his house and does not remember Allah the Exalted at the time of his entry, Satan says: 'You have found a place to pass the night.' When he does not remember Allah the Exalted at the time of his food, Satan says: 'You have found a place to pass the night and food.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 3764 - Hasan).
