Chapter 257

The desirability of praising Allah on receiving good news

Remembrance 1
KNOW THAT IT is mustaḥabb, when a manifest favour is renewed or misfortune repelled, to prostrate in thanks to Allah and to praise and extol Allah as He deserves. The hadiths and narrations about this are many and well-known.
We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that ‘Amr ibn Maymūn Honorific symbol, narrating the long hadith about the assassination of ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb Honorific symbol, said that ‘Umar Honorific symbol sent his son ‘Abdullāh Honorific symbol to ‘Ā’ishah Honorific symbol asking her permission to be buried with his two [dearest] companions. When ‘Abdullāh Honorific symbol came back, ‘Umar asked “What have you got?” He replied, “That which you will like, Leader of the Believers. She gave permission.” He said: “Praise be to Allah! There was nothing more important to me than that.” [1].
