Q: When someone does good to you, is it Sunnah to say:
- Jazakallah
- Jazak Allah Khair
- Or Jazak Allah Khayran?
What was the practise of Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and the Sahaba R.A, please provide reference?
A: The Hadith teaches us that we should show gratitude and appreciation to the one who has done us a favour. One form of showing gratitude is to make dua for the person by saying Jazakallah (May Allah Ta’ala reward you).
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
