اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي ثَمَرِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي قَرْيَتِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا
O Allah, bless our fruits, and bless our town for us, and bless our measure (Sa' for dry goods), and bless our measure (Mudd for dry goods).
Allahumma barik lana fi thamarina, wa barik lana fi qaryatina, wa barik lana fi sa'ina, wa barik lana fi muddina

Virtues & Benefits
This supplication embodies a deep sense of gratitude and reliance on Allah for sustenance. By asking for blessings in fruits, town, and measures of grain, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching us to seek Allah's favor in all aspects of provision, from the produce of the land to the community we live in. It cultivates an awareness that all growth and abundance are from Allah alone, fostering contentment and reducing anxiety about livelihood. It also reminds us of the interconnectedness of our lives with the environment and the sustenance it provides.
