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 ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشْكَرُكُمْ لِلَّهِ أَشْكَرُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ .
Translation
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<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Loves every grieving heart, and Loves every grateful servant. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be Saying to a servant from His<sup>azwj</sup> servant on the Day of Judgement: “Did you thank so and so?” He would say, ‘But, I thanked You<sup>azwj</sup>, O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>!” So He<sup>azwj</sup> would be Saying: “You did not thank Me<sup>azwj</sup> when you did not thank him”. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The most thankful to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, is the one most thankful you to the people’.
