Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'When a man enters his house and remembers Allah Almighty and Praised at the time of his entry and at the time of his food, then Satan says: 'You have no place to spend the night and no evening meal.' When he enters and does not remember Allah Almighty and Praised at the time of his entry, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night,' and when he does not remember Allah Almighty and Praised at the time of his food, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night and evening meal.'
