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
, narrating the long hadith about the assassination of ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb
, said that ‘Umar
sent his son ‘Abdullāh
to ‘Ā’ishah
asking her permission to be buried with his two [dearest] companions. When ‘Abdullāh
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].
