Thankfulness to God- traditions by Imam Sadiq and Imam Baqir

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said, " Whenever God grants someone some blessings and he realizes them with his heart and expresses his gratitude, God will order an increase in his blessings before he finishes his words. God the Almighty has said,' If you are grateful, I will add more (blessings) unto you.' ( Quran: Ibrahin  14:7)

Imam baqir (a.s) said,  " The steady increase of God's blessings will not stop unless the gratefulness of the people stops."

Imam Jaffer Sadiq (a.s) said, "Whenever the Prophet received a blessing which he liked he would say,' Praise is for the Benevolent, the Beautiful God.' and whenever he recieved something which he disliked he would say, 'Praise be to God in all cases, and praise be to God in this case'.

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that one the Prophet was passing by a group of people who were trying to life a rock. He asked them why they were trying to do so? They replied that they were trying to see who was the strongest...The prophet  said, ' The one who is the strongest is the one who does not engage in sin or do wrong  when he is content; one who does not say but what is right when he is angry; and one who doesn't do injustice  when he is powerful.'
