Perfection in showing gratitude to someone is saying "Jazāk Allāhu Khayran"

tirmidhi:2035al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan al-Marwazī Bimakkah And ʾIbrāhīm b. Saʿīd al-Jawharī > al-Aḥwaṣ b. Jawwāb > Suʿayr b. al-Khims > Sulaymān al-Taymī > Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī > Usāmah b. Zayd

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever some good was done to him, and he says: 'May Allah reward you in goodness' then he has done the most that he can of praise."  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Jayyid-Gharīb (Good, Fair, and Solitary), we do not know of it from the Ḥadīth of Usāmah b. Zayd except from this chain. It has been similarly been narrated from Abū Hurayrah from Rasulullah ﷺ, and I asked Muḥammad and he did not know of it.
الترمذي:٢٠٣٥حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَحْوَصُ بْنُ جَوَّابٍ عَنْ سُعَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِمْسِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صُنِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفٌ فَقَالَ لِفَاعِلِهِ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَقَدْ أَبْلَغَ فِي الثَّنَاءِ۔»  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ جَيِّدٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ
tirmidhi:2035-2ʿAbd al-Raḥīm b. Ḥāzim al-Balkhī > al-Makkī b. Ibrāhīm

[Caution: Unverified AI Translation] We were with Ibn Jurayj, the Makki, when a questioner came and asked him. Ibn Jurayj then said to his treasurer, "Give him a dinar." The treasurer said, "I only have one dinar, if I give it to him, you will be hungry, and so will your family." Ibn Jurayj became angry and said, "Give it to him." Al-Makki said, "We were with Ibn Jurayj when a man came to him with a letter and a purse. Some of his brothers had sent it to him, and in the letter, it said, 'I have sent fifty dinars.' Ibn Jurayj opened the purse and counted it, and behold, there were fifty-one dinars. Ibn Jurayj said to his treasurer, 'You have given one, so may Allah replace it for you and increase you by fifty dinars.'"  

الترمذي:٢٠٣٥-٢حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ حَازِمٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمَكِّيَّ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَقُولُ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ الْمَكِّيِّ فَجَاءَ سَائِلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ لِخَازِنِهِ أَعْطِهِ دِينَارًا فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلاَّ دِينَارٌ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ لَجُعْتَ وَعِيَالَكَ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ وَقَالَ أَعْطِهِ قَالَ الْمَكِّيُّ فَنَحْنُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ بِكِتَابٍ وَصُرَّةٍ وَقَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ إِخْوَانِهِ وَفِي الْكِتَابِ إِنِّي قَدْ بَعَثْتُ خَمْسِينَ دِينَارًا قَالَ فَحَلَّ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ الصُّرَّةَ فَعَدَّهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَحَدٌ وَخَمْسُونَ دِينَارًا قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ لِخَازِنِهِ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتَ وَاحِدًا فَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَزَادَكَ خَمْسِينَ دِينَارًا
