١٠١. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«كُلُّ أَمْرٍ ذِي بَالٍ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِالْحَمْدِ أَقْطَعُ».
101. It is narrated from Abu Huraira (r.a.) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:
“Every important matter which is not begun by an expression of praise to Allah turns out unproductive.” (Ibn Majah, Nikah, 19. Also see Abu Dawud, Adab, 18/4840)
