Reported Context & Reflection: The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah loves sneezing and dislikes yawning. Two men sneezed in his presence; he responded to one and not the other. Asked why, he said: “This one praised Allah, that one did not.”
Subhanaka Allahumma wa bi-hamdika, ashhadu an la ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk
Glory be to You, O Allah, and to You is the praise. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
Reported Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever sits in a gathering where idle talk grew, and on rising says this, will be forgiven what took place in that gathering.

The Best Thanks to a Person
Sahih (Authentic)
جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا
Jazakallahu khayran
May Allah reward you with good.
Reported Context & Reflection: The sentence does not settle the debt, it passes it on: I cannot repay you, so I ask the One who can.
Reported Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever has good done to him and says to the one who did it “Jazākallāhu khayran” has praised him to the utmost.
📚 Sunan at-Tirmidhī, Kitāb al-Birr (von Usāma ibn Zayd) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Wie man dem dankt, der einem Gutes tut
When Someone Says: “I Love You for Allah’s Sake”
Sahih (Authentic)
أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ
Ahabbakal-ladhi ahbabtani lah
May the One for whose sake you love me love you.
Reported Context & Reflection: A man was with the Prophet ﷺ when another passed by. He said: Messenger of Allah, I love this man. The Prophet ﷺ asked: have you told him? He said: no. He said: “Tell him.” The man caught up with him and said: I love you for Allah’s sake. The other replied with these words.
📚 Sunan Abī Dāwūd, Kitāb al-Adab (von Anas ibn Mālik) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Was man dem antwortet, der sagt, er liebe einen um Allahs willen
Alhamdulillahil-ladhi afani mimma-btalaka bih, wa faddalani ala kathirin mimman khalaqa tafdila
All praise is due to Allah, who has spared me what He has tried you with, and who has favoured me over many of His creation.
Reported Context & Reflection: The supplication brakes two things at once: blindness to one’s own reprieve, and the temptation to feel superior. That is why it is said quietly.
An-Nawawī states explicitly: these words are said quietly, so that the afflicted person does not hear them — except in the case of someone openly boasting of his sin.
📚 Sunan at-Tirmidhī, Kitāb ad-Daʿawāt (von Abū Hurayra) · an-Nawawī, al-Adhkār — Kapitel: Was man beim Anblick eines Geprüften sagt
Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
Reported Context & Reflection: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “As-salāmu ʿalaykum.” He returned the greeting and said: “Ten.” Another came and said, “As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh.” He said: “Twenty.” A third came and gave the greeting in full. He said: “Thirty.” — Ten good deeds for each addition.
