حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، أَتَاهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ , فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مَا رَأَيْنَا قَوْمًا أَبْذَلَ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ وَلَا أَحْسَنَ مُوَاسَاةً مِنْ قَلِيلٍ مِنْ قَوْمٍ نَزَلْنَا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ ، لَقَدْ كَفَوْنَا الْمُؤْنَةَ ، وَأَشْرَكُونَا فِي الْمَهْنَإِ حَتَّى لَقَدْ خِفْنَا أَنْ يَذْهَبُوا بِالْأَجْرِ كُلِّهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا مَا دَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ وَأَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Anas said:` "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) arrived in Al-Madinah the Muhajirun came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We have not seen a people more willing to sacrifice when having a lot, nor more patient when having a little than the people whom we are staying among. Our provisions are so sufficient, and we share with them in their produce such that we fear that all our reward is gone. So the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "No. As long as you supplicate to Allah for them and praise (show gratitude to) them(for it)."

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
That is, as long as you continue to supplicate for good on their behalf, these supplications of yours will be in recompense for their good deeds,
and you will receive the reward for it,
and these very supplications of yours will be a substitute for the effort and hardship they endured for your sake.

Benefits and Issues:
Along with verbal and practical gratitude and thankfulness, an important action is that a person should make supplications (duas) for his benefactor.
That is, one should not merely utter words of thanks with the tongue, but should say supplicatory phrases such as, "May Allah Ta'ala grant you the best reward."
In addition, one should also continue to make special supplications for one's benefactors in their absence.
