Majma al-Zawaid 17151 — What one says on seeing something that pleases

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فِي أَهْلٍ ، وَلَا مَالٍ ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ فَقَالَ : مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، فَيَرَى فِيهِ آفَةً دُونَ الْمَوْتِ " . وَقَرَأَ : ( وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ) . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty grants a slave some blessing in the form of family, wealth or children, the person should recite: 'Ma sha'a Allah, la quwwata illa billah'
(What Allah has willed (has come to pass), and nothing can happen except with the help of Allah Almighty.)
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Such a person will not see any calamity befall it, short of death." Then he recited this verse:
"And why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: What Allah wills (comes to pass); there is no power except with the help of Allah Almighty?" [Al-Kahf: 39]
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Malik bin Zurarah, who is da'if (weak).
