1054. ENJOINMENT OF THANKING ONE WHO DOES GOOD TO YOU

3339.الإمامُ الحسنُ عليه السلام : اللُّؤمُ أن لا تَشكُرَ النِّعمَةَ .¹

3339.Imam al-Hasan (AS) said, ‘It is blameworthy that you do not thank for a favour done unto you.’²

3340.الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام : أمّا حَقُّ ذِي المَعروفِ علَيكَ فأن تَشكُرَهُ وتَذكُرَ مَعروفَهُ ، وتُكسِبَهُ المَقالَةَ الحَسَنَةَ ، وتُخلِصَ لَهُ الدعاءَ فيما بينَكَ وبينَ اللَّهِ عَزَّوجلَّ ، فإذا فَعَلتَ ذلكَ كنتَ قد شَكَرتَهُ سِرّاً وعَلانِيَةً ، ثُمّ إن قَدَرْتَ على‏ مُكافَأتِهِ يَوماً كافَيتَهُ .³

3340. Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘The right of he who does a kindly act towards you is that you thank him and mention his kindness; that you reward him with beautiful words and supplicate for him sincerely in that which is between you and Allah. If you do that, you have thanked him both secretly and openly. Then if you are able to repay him one day, repay him.’⁴
