With Respect to Allah's Bounties upon Man

Authentic Supplications of the Prophet

With Respect to Allah's Bounties upon Man (162)

Allah The Exalted said with respect to the story of the two men: "Why do you not, when you enter into your garded say: Mã shã'a 'allãhu lã quwwata 'illã bil-lãhi"⁽¹⁸⁰⁾

It is reported byif the Prophet

that if he saw something he liked he would say 'Al-hamdu lil-lãhi 'allathee bini`matihi tatimmus-sãlihãtu,⁽¹⁸¹⁾

and if he saw something he disliked he would say, 'Al-hamdu lil-lãhi 'alã kulli hãlin⁽¹⁸²⁾.

Footnotes

⁽¹⁸⁰⁾ 'Allah's Will [be done]! There is no strength but in Allah! This is from Surat 'Al-Kahf (#18) V. 39.

⁽¹⁸¹⁾ All praise is to Allah, by the Grace of Whom all good things are fulfilled.

⁽¹⁸²⁾ All praise is to Allah upon every circumstance.

Reporters

Al-Albãni said in his Saheeh Al-Jãmi'i 'As-Sagheeri wa Ziyãdatihi that it was sound, and that it was reported by Ibn Mãjah, by way of `Aishata. The supplication in this hadeeth is identical to #113 in The Authentic of Good Sayings; however the chain of narration for this hadeeth is more reliable according to Al-Albãni.
