It is like possessing the WHOLE world!

Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said,
"Whosoever begins the day feeling family security and good health; and having provision (food) for his day is like he possessed the whole world.''

[At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: To have one-day food and to enjoy peace and health is indeed a great blessing. If one lacks peace and health, the treasures of the whole world will be of no use because the heaps of wealth cannot provide peace of mind to one, nor can it make one enjoy sound health.

The Hadith also implies an advice to man that instead of running after wealth, he should endeavour to seek patience and contentment which alone can guarantee him peace and satisfaction.
