956/1 - Ka‘b ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the battle of Tabūk on Thursday, and he liked to set out on Thursday. [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
In another version narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would rarely set out on a day other than Thursday.
1) The Sunnah is to be keen on setting out for travel on a Thursday, in compliance with the Prophet’s guidance.
2) Part of the wisdom behind making travel on Thursday is that deeds are raised and presented to Allah Almighty on this day.
957/2 - Sakhr ibn Wadā‘ah al-Ghāmidi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Allah, bless the early morning hours for my Ummah.” Whenever he dispatched a military expedition, he would do so in the early part of the day. Sakhr was a trader, and he would send off his trade at the beginning of the day; and he became rich and had much wealth. [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd and Al-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hasan (sound)]
1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for his Ummah that Allah bless for it the early part of the daytime, when the day begins and work starts. It is the superior time of the day.
2) It shows this Prophetic supplication’s impact in the lives of individuals and the Ummah as a whole, as those who act upon this instruction, in compliance with the Sunnah, get blessing and increase.
