Ali Bin Muhammad raising it...

Ali Bin Muhammad raising it, Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘When Allah -azwj Favours upon His -azwj servant with a Bounty, and he displays it (with gratitude), he is named as a Beloved of Allah -azwj narrating with a Bounty of Allah -azwj ; and when Allah -azwj Favours upon a servant with a Bounty, so he does not display/spend it (with thanks), he is named as the one being angry with Allah -azwj – a denier in a Bounty of Allah -azwj ’.

As he (Amir ul-Momineen -asws ) noticed a man who exceeded the limits of asceticism (austerity/self-denial), Imam Ali -asws said to him: O you, have you not heard Allah -azwj ’s saying: “And proclaim/announce the bounties of your Lord?” [43] By Allah -azwj , I -asws swear, to thank Allah -azwj ’s favours by means of deeds is certainly better than thanking them by means of words.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws about the man who wore the new clothes. He -asws said: ‘He should be saying, ‘O Allah -azwj ! Make it to be a Bountiful cloth and of piety and of Blessings. O Allah -azwj ! Grant me in it the goodness of worshipping You -azwj , and working in obedience to You -asws , and being thankful for You -azwj Bounties.

The Praise is for Allah -azwj Whom Clothed me what I cover my nakedness with and beautify with among the people’.
