حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الصَّائِغُ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ بَعْثًا قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَغَنِمُوا غَنَائِمَ كَثِيرَةً وَأَسْرَعُوا الرَّجْعَةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مَا رَأَيْنَا بَعْثًا أَسْرَعَ رَجْعَةً وَلاَ أَفْضَلَ غَنِيمَةً مِنْ هَذَا الْبَعْثِ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَفْضَلُ غَنِيمَةً وَأَسْرَعُ رَجْعَةً قَوْمٌ شَهِدُوا صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّمْسُ فَأُولَئِكَ أَسْرَعُ رَجْعَةً وَأَفْضَلُ غَنِيمَةً " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ هُوَ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ الْمُزَنِيُّ وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .
'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) Sent An Expedition In The Direction Of Najd. They Gained Many Spoils Of War And Returned Quickly. A Man Among Those Who Did Not Go Out Said: “We Have Not Seen An Expedition Quicker In Return Or Greater In Spoils Than This Expedition.” So The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: “Should I Not Direct You To A Group Greater In Spoils And Quicker In Return? A Group Who Attended Salat As-Subh, Then Sat Remembering Allah Until The Sun Rose, For These Are Quicker In Return And Greater In Spoils.”

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3561
This hadith about morning dhikr shows how the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم redirected attention from worldly gain to spiritual gain. An expedition returned quickly with many spoils, and someone praised its speed and wealth. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then pointed to another group: those who attend Salat As-Subh, then sit remembering Allah until sunrise. He described them as quicker in return and greater in spoils. The main lesson is not to belittle quiet worship. Fajr prayer, dhikr after Fajr, and sitting in remembrance can carry a value that is greater than people may first notice. The hadith keeps the focus on sincere remembrance after prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- Attending Salat As-Subh is connected here with a special form of spiritual gain.
- Sitting in dhikr until sunrise is praised as a meaningful act of worship.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught people to value worship more than visible worldly success.
- Quiet remembrance of Allah can be more valuable than what appears impressive to people.
