Narrated by Abu Malik al-Ash'ari: When a person enters his house and remembers Allah the Exalted at the time of his entering and at the time of his eating, Satan says: "You (plunder) no lodging and no food for the night." When he enters and does not remember Allah the Exalted at the time of his entering, Satan says: "You have obtained lodging." When he does not remember Him at the time of eating, Satan says: "You have obtained lodging and food." - Sunan Abi Dawud 3764 (Hasan).
