Sunan Ibn Majah 3329 (Book 29, Hadith 79) #32683
Praying for Blessings with First Fruits

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would give the first fruits of the season to the smallest child present and pray for blessings from Allah.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that when the first fruits (of the season) were brought, the Messenger of Allah would say: "O Allah, bless us in our city and in our fruits, in our Mudd and in our Sa’,* blessing upon blessing". Then he would give it to the smallest of the children present.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِأَوَّلِ الثَّمَرَةِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا وَفِي ثِمَارِنَا وَفِي مُدِّنَا وَفِي صَاعِنَا بَرَكَةً مَعَ بَرَكَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ يُنَاوِلُهُ أَصْغَرَ مَنْ بِحَضْرَتِهِ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a practice that was done by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when the first fruits of the season were brought. He would say a prayer asking Allah to bless them in their city, their fruits, their Mudd and Sa. Mudd and Sa are two measurements used in Arabia at that time which were equal to 4 handfuls each. After saying this prayer, he would give it to the smallest child present as a sign of kindness and generosity. This hadith teaches us many values such as being generous towards others, especially children; praying for blessings from Allah; being thankful for what we have been given; and showing kindness towards others regardless of age or size. It also shows us how important it is to be grateful for our blessings no matter how small they may seem because even something like a handful can be blessed by Allah if we ask Him sincerely with faith in our hearts.
