Saying Parshas HaMun:[1]
Its proper[2] for one to recite daily[3] the paragraph of the Mun [heavenly bread] in order to strengthen ones trust [i.e. Bitachon] in G-d who provides ones food on a daily basis.[4] Alternatively, it is recited in order to strengthen one’s belief [i.e. Emuna] that all of one’s food comes to him with Divine providence[5], as G-d decided to give one portion of Mun per family, and those who took more, had their portion decrease to the allotted portion, while those who took less had their portion increase to the allotted portion.[6] [Thus we see that whatever G-d decides to give a person is what he will get no matter if he tries to get more or less.]

The custom today: Practically, the custom is to no longer recite the Parshas Haman prior to Davening.[7] However, some recite it every day after Davening as a Segula for Parnasa.[8] This is not the Chabad custom.[9] A Segula for Parnasa: The Jerusalem Talmud states that whoever recites Parshas Haman is guaranteed to have no lack of income.[10] While the Rebbe makes mention of reciting Parshas Haman daily as a Segula for Parnasa, he concludes that it does not apply in all times and all places.[11] |

[3] Regarding saying it on Shabbos: Some write that it is to be said even on Shabbos. [Beir Heiytiv 1:9; Implication of Sefer Hamanhig Shabbos 44; Likkutei Sichos ibid according to Kama ibid] See Likkutei Sichos ibid p. 114 that according to reason of Basra ibid it may not be said on Shabbos as its Bakashas Tzerachav

The reason: This is based on the teachings of the Zohar which states that one should not make a request for his own needs prior to prayer. [Zohar Pinchas p. 226]
