The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: When a man enters his house and remembers Allah the Almighty at the time of his entering and at the time of his eating, Satan says: 'You have no place to pass the night and no food.' When he enters and does not remember Allah the Almighty at the time of his entering, Satan says: 'You have found a place to pass the night.' And when he does not remember Him at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have found a place to pass the night and food.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 5096, Sunan Ibn Majah 3898).
