Question:
And this is another questioner, may Allah preserve you, who asks about the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2346Hasan (Darussalam) word for word: What are the noble meanings in this Prophetic hadith?
Answer:
This is a great hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explains the blessings upon the servants: the blessing of safety in homes and lands, the blessing of provision, and the blessing of health. When these three are gathered—safety in his home, meaning he is safe in his home, healthy in his body, free from illnesses and pains that disturb and trouble him, having his daily sustenance, his sustenance for the day and night, his breakfast and dinner—this is as if he has possessed the entire world; he and the king of the world are equal, because the king has nothing but these three: his food, his safety in his home, and his health in his body. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "If you are not one of a content heart, you and the king of the world are equal." This is the intended meaning of this hadith. And this requires us to thank Allah for these blessings, because they are all available to us, and praise be to Allah. We are safe in our homes and lands. We are healthy in our bodies. We have our sustenance and provisions.
The obligatory is gratitude. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Ibrahim 14:7-8] Mighty and Majestic [An-Nahl 16:112] [An-Nahl 16:112]. Yes.

And this is another questioner, may Allah preserve you, who asks about the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever among you wakes up in the morning secured in his dwelling, healthy in his body, having his food for the day,then it is as if the world has been gathered for him.

(7) And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "
وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ وَقَالَAnd Allah presents an example: a city which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allah
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ آمِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِSo Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.
فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَThe presenter:
May Allah reward you.
