Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'When a man enters his house, he should remember Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and when he enters it without remembering Allah the Mighty and Majestic, the Shaitan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night.' When he remembers Allah when he enters, the Shaitan says: 'There is no place to spend the night.' And when he remembers Allah when he eats, the Shaitan says: 'You have found a place to eat.' And when he does not remember Allah when he eats, the Shaitan says: 'You have found a place to eat and to spend the night.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 3767, Sahih)
