ahmad-zuhd:2145ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] Al-Jurairy returned from a trip and his brothers came to greet him. He began to inform them of what Allah had shown him during his journey, from things that he liked and things that he disliked. He spoke about it in the best and most eloquent way. He said, "Indeed, it is said that one of the ways to show gratitude is to count blessings."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢١٤٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ الْغَلَابِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ

قَدِمَ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَأَتَاهُ إِخْوَانُهُ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِمَا أَبْلَاهُ اللَّهُ فِي سَفَرِهِ مِمَّا يُحِبُّ وَصَرَفَ عَنْهَ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ وَأَحْسَنَ وَأَبْلَغَ وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُقَالُ «إِنَّ مِنَ الشُّكْرِ تَعْدَادُ النِّعَمِ»
