Hadith 3803

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْأَزْرَقُ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ , حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , عَنْ أُمِّهِ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا رَأَى مَا يُحِبُّ , قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ , وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ , قَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ " .
´It was narrated that 'Aishah said:` "When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw something he liked, he would say: 'Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi bi ni'matihi tatimmus-salihat (Praise is to Allah by Whose grace good deeds are completed).' And if he saw something that he disliked, he would say: 'Al-hamdu lillahi 'ala kulli hal (Praise is to Allah in all circumstances).'"

Every blessing and success in the world is a favor from Allah.
A believer should acknowledge this on every occasion.


Even in difficulties and calamities, there is always some aspect of Allah’s favor, for example:
When a servant is patient, he becomes deserving of reward and elevated ranks. In this regard, at the time of calamity, one should thank Allah, not complain.
