reward you with good)" to the one from whom you take money?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Good manners dictate that you should reciprocate the one whodoes you a
favour. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
enjoined thatand said: "Whoever doesyou a favour, then reciprocate,
and if you cannot find anything with which to reciprocate, then pray
for him until you think that you have reciprocated him." Narrated by
Abu Dawood (1672); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
Reciprocating kindness means choosing that which will make the onewho
did you a favour feel happy, just as he made you feel happy. So you
should strive to thank him in kind. Allaahsays (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Is there any reward for good other than good?"
[al-Rahmaan 55:60]
If you are not able to reciprocate with a gift, or helping with some
task, or offering some service, etc, then at least you can say du'aa'
for him, and this du'aa' may be a means of bringing him happiness in
this world and in the Hereafter.
One of the best forms of du'aa' for the one who has done you a favour
is that which is mentioned in the Sunnah:
It was narrated that Usaamah ibn Zayd (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: The Messengerof Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "Whoever has a favour done for him and says tothe one who
did it, 'Jazak Allaahu khayran,' has done enough to thank him."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1958) and by al-Nasaa'i in al-Sunan al-Kubra
(6/53); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
This du'aa' is also narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) in a lengthy hadeeth in which it says:"You are the
Ansaar, mayAllaah reward you with good (jazaakum Allaahu khayran), for
you are decent and patient." Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan(7277) and
al-Haakim (4/79). He said: its isnaadis saheeh, and al-Dhahabi agreed
with him. Shaykh al-Albaani said in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (3096): It
is as they said.
This phrase was often uttered by the Sahaabah(may Allaah be pleased with them).
It says in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (5/322): 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab
(may Allaah be pleased with him) said: If one of you knew what there
is in his saying to his brother, 'Jazaak Allaahu khayran', you would
say it a great deal to one another.
Usayd ibn al-Hudayr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said to 'Aa'ishah
(may Allaah be pleased with her): May Allaah reward you with good (O
'Aa'ishah), for by Allaah, you never have any problem but Allaah
grants you a way out and makes it a blessing for the Muslims. Narrated
by al-Bukhaari (336) and Muslim (367).
In Saheeh Muslim (1823) it is narrated that Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: I came to my father when he was wounded and
they praised him and said: May Allaah reward you with good, and he
said: I have hope and fear – meaning hope for that which is with
Allaahof reward and mercy, and fear of that which is with Him of
punishment.
What is meant by the phrase "Jazaak Allaahu khayran (May Allaah reward
with you good)" is asking Allaah to reward you with a great deal of
good.
Fayd al-Qadeer (1/410)
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Sharh
Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (4/22):
Reciprocation depends on the situation. With some people,
reciprocation may be by giving him something similar to what he gave
you, or more. With others it may be by praying for him and he would
not accept a gift of money, because if a great man who has a lot of
wealth and high status and honour among his people gives you something
and you give him a similar gift, he will think that you are failing to
give him his due, but for such a person you should pray to Allaah for
him. "And if you cannot find anything with which to reciprocate, then
pray for him until you think that you have reciprocated him." That may
be by saying to him,Jazaak Allaahu khayran. That is because if Allaah
rewards him with good, that will bring him happiness in this world and
in the Hereafter. Endquote.
And Allaah knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
