7ـ وَبِهَذَا الإسْنَادِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ التَّحْمِيدِ قَالَ تَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي عَلا فَقَهَرَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي يُمِيتُ الأحْيَاءَ وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

7. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “The least for thanksgiving is to say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who is High, so all things are subdued before Him, all praise belongs to Allah who owns all things, so He provides sustenance to all of them, all praise belongs to Allah who is inside, so He has the news of all things, all praise belongs to Allah who causes the living to die, gives life to the dead and has power over all things.’”
