Gratitude to people

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

pray that you are well.

The Muhajirun came to the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said about the Ansar, the gist of it is: "we have never seen a people like the Ansar, they comfort us when they are poor and they are generous to us when they are well off, they work in their farms and they split their harvest with us." and they thought the Ansar will get all the reward and leave them with nothing. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said No as long as they are grateful towards them and make du'a for them.

This is a reminder for us that when someone (anyone--close or strangers) do good to us or do us a favor, make du'a for them. Give sincere thanks to them. Say, may Allah reward you well (jazakallahu khairan), may Allah bless you, may Allah give you good in this world and the akhirah, etc, and mean it in the heart--not just on the tongue. Teach and remind this to our children. This is part of being a Muslim--to have gratitude. The one who is not grateful towards people is not going to be grateful towards His Creator.

And Allah knows best.

May Allah Most Generous make us His grateful slaves. Ameen.

Wassalaam
