It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sakhr Ghamidi that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah, bless my Ummah in their early hours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whenever he sent out an army, would send it in the early part of the day. The narrator of the hadith, Sayyiduna Sakhr, was a merchant; he also used to send his workers early in the morning. As a result, he acquired so much wealth that he did not know where to keep his wealth and property.
