Al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan al-Marwazi narrated to us in Makkah, and Ibrahim ibn Sa‘id al-Jawhari narrated to us, both saying: al-Ahw as ibn Jawwab narrated to us, from Su‘ayr ibn al-Khims, from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Abu ‘Uthman al-Nahdi, from Usamah ibn Zayd, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever receives a kindness and says to the one who did it, ‘May Allah reward you with good,’ has fully expressed his praise.”

Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan, jayyid, and gharib; we know it from Usamah ibn Zayd only through this route. A similar report has been narrated from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet ﷺ, but when I asked Muhammad about it, he did not know it.

‘Abd al-Rahim ibn Hazim al-Balkhi told me: I heard al-Makki ibn Ibrahim say: “We were with Ibn Jurayj al-Makki when a beggar came and asked him for something. Ibn Jurayj told his treasurer, ‘Give him a dinar.’ The treasurer said, ‘I have only one dinar; if I give it to him, you and your family will go hungry.’ Ibn Jurayj became angry and said, ‘Give it to him.’ Al-Makki said: While we were with Ibn Jurayj, a man came with a letter and a purse sent by one of his brothers. The letter said, ‘I have sent you fifty dinars.’ Ibn Jurayj opened the purse and counted it; it contained fifty-one dinars. He said to his treasurer, ‘You gave one away, and Allah returned it to you and added fifty dinars.’”
