Thanking someone
Question
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?
Answer
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.
