حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ , عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ , عَنْ أَنَسٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً , فَقَالَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ , إِلَّا كَانَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ , أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَخَذَ " .
´It was narrated from Anas that :` the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah does not bestow a blessing upon any slave and he says: 'Al-hamdu Lillah (praise is to Allah),' except that what he gives (the praise) is better than what he received (the blessing)."
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
A servant gives importance to the apparent blessings of this world, although the ability to offer gratitude (shukr) for that blessing, and the resulting rewards in the Hereafter, are far better and superior than this worldly blessing itself. Therefore, as soon as a blessing is received, it is necessary to offer gratitude, and this is also beneficial for the servant.
