When one wakes up and remembers Allah, the first knot is untied; when one perform ablution, the second is untied; and when one prays, the third is untied; and one starts the day energetically and in good spirits. Otherwise, one will begin the morning in a bad humour, and full of sloth." Bukhari, Muslim. wassalam.
