Hadith 720
۞
1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “O Abu Ishaq! When Allah grants a bounty to His servant and he recognizes it with his heart and he praises and glorifies Allah openly, Allah will grant him a better bounty as soon as this bounty gets finished.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ بِنِعْمَهٍ فَعَرَفَهَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ جَهَرَ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَیْهَا فَفَرَغَ مِنْهَا حَتَّی یُؤْمَرَ لَهُ بِالْمَزِیدِ.
