أنكرتَ عليَّ حين رأيتني ساجدا؟ فقلتُ: بلى جُعلتُ فداك، قال: ذكرتُ نعمةً أنعمها الله عليَّ فكرهتُ أنْ أجوز حتّى أؤدي شكرها. Abi Ubeydeh Al-Haz’za said: “When I was accompanying Imam Baqir -asws on the way to Medina, he -asws suddenly fell into prostrate of worship. When he -asws finished he -asws stood up and asked me if I was surprised. I replied: “May I be your -asws devoted servant!
Yes.” He -asws said: “I -asws remembered a blessing that Allah -azwj had Given me -asws , and I -asws found it hard to go along my way without thanking God for it (but no one could saw me -asws doing the sajda as per another Hadith).” [27] Acknowledging the Favour of Others: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ اشْكُرْ مَنْ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَنْعِمْ عَلَى مَنْ شَكَرَكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا زَوَالَ لِلنَّعْمَاءِ إِذَا شُكِرَتْ وَ لَا بَقَاءَ لَهَا إِذَا كُفِرَتْ الشُّكْرُ زِيَادَةٌ فِي النِّعَمِ وَ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْغِيَرِ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Baghdady, from Abdullah Bin Is’haq Al Ja’fary, from: Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘It is written in the Torah: “Thank the one who favours upon you, and do favours upon the one who thanks you, for there would be no decline of the Bounties when it is thanked for, and there would not remain (from bounties) when it is denied. The gratefulness increases in the Bounties, and it is a safety from others (who envy/try to harm)’.
[28] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ الدُّهْنِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ قَلْبٍ حَزِينٍ وَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ شَكُورٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَ شَكَرْتَ فُلَاناً فَيَقُولُ بَلْ شَكَرْتُكَ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ لَمْ تَشْكُرْنِي إِذْ لَمْ تَشْكُرْهُ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Minqary, from Sufyan Bin Uyayna, from Ammad Al Duhny who said, ‘I heard Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws saying: ‘ Allah -azwj Loves every grieving heart, and Loves every grateful servant.
