عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضيَ اللهُ عنه قال: قال رسولُ اللهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «اللَّهُمَّ؛ اجْعَلْ رزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا» متفقٌ عليه.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Allah, make the provision of the family of Muhammad just enough to sustain them." Agreed upon.

تفضيل النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلّم حال الكفاف. المسلم يحرص على الدعاء بما هو خير له ولأهله ولو كان في ظاهره ابتلاء وشدّة. حد الكفاف أو "رزق اليوم باليوم" يحتاج إلى صبر وتوكل على الله تعالى فعلى من كان رزقه كفافًا أن يدعو الله بهما حتى لا يتسخط على رازقه سبحانه، ويستفاد هذا من أحوال رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم.
The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) preference for the state of sufficiency. The Muslim is keen to supplicate for what is best for him and his family, even if it outwardly appears to be a trial and hardship. The state of sufficiency, or "daily provision day by day," requires patience and reliance upon Allah the Exalted. So whoever's provision is just enough should supplicate to Allah for both (patience and reliance) so that he does not become resentful toward his Provider, Glorified is He. This is derived from the circumstances of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
