A companion named Hodayr, during one of the battles, was waiting to take his share of the zad (provision) while the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا forgot him. he went to the very back of the army gathering, so that his peers will not notice he has nothing and might offer to share theirs with him. He kept talking to Allah saying: Sobhan Allah, walhamdulleah, wa la ilaha ila Allah wa Allah u Akbar khyru zad (provision or food). Allahum your Messenger fogot Hodayr. Allah sent Gabriel to Sayenda Mohamed صلى الله عليه وسلم to tell him that he forgot Hodayr. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم called someone and gave him a share. He told him go to the very back u will find someone named Hodayr talking to Allah, memorize what he is saying and when u give him the share memorize what he will say. The man went and found him saying the above mentioned quote. He asked him u r Hodayr, he said yes. He told him the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم is sending u this. He took it then said Alhamdulelah who remembered Hodayr, Allahum just as u remembered Hodayr, don't let Hodayr forget You.
May Allah makes us among those who remember Him day and night ameen
