Definition of Ghamḍ
Al-ghamd: light sleep.
One says: I did not taste sleep.
The Almighty says: 'and you would not close your eyes on it' (Al-Baqara 267), meaning you would only accept it by closing your eyes to its defects.
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
