1739. THE BOUNTIES OF ALLAH CANNOT BE ENUMERATED

(وَآتَاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ) .¹

"And He gave you all that you had asked Him. If you enumerate Allah's blessing, you will not be able to count them. Indeed man is most unfair and ungrateful!" ²

6161.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن لَم يَرَ للَّهِ عَزَّوجلَّ علَيهِ نِعمَةً إلّا في مَطعَمٍ أو مَشرَبٍ أو مَلبَسٍ ، فقد قَصُرَ عَملُهُ ودنا عَذابُهُ .³

6161.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'He who does not see the bounties of Allah upon himself other than in his food, drink, and clothes, surely his actions fall short and his punishment is near.' ⁴

6162.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام: الحَمدُ للَّهِ الذي لا يَبلُغُ مِدحَتَهُ القائلونَ ، ولا يُحصِي نَعماءَهُ العادُّونَ .⁵

6162.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Praise be to Allah whose extolment speakers cannot attain, and whose bounties cannot be enumerated by those who count.' ⁶

6163.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في وَصيَّتِهِ لِكُميلٍ - : يا كُمَيلُ ، إنّهُ لا تَخلو مِن نِعمَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوجلَّ عِندَكَ وعافِيَتِهِ ، فلا تَخْلُ مِن تَحميدِهِ وتَمجيدِهِ وتَسبيحِهِ وتَقديسِهِ وشُكرِهِ وذِكرِهِ على‏ كلِّ حالٍ .⁷

6163. Imam Ali (AS), in his advice to Kumayl said, 'O Kumayl, you cannot ever be devoid of the bounties of Allah and the good health [given to you by Him], so do not remain without praising Him, exalting Him, glorifying Him, sanctifying Him, thanking Him and remembering Him in every situation.' ⁸
