Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The heart of a righteous servant has no room in it except for the love of Allah. If he is made to attain anything of Allah's bounty, he says: Al-hamdu lillahi 'ala ma an'ama wa bashshara. And if he is put to trial, he says: Al-hamdu lillahi 'ala kulli hal (Praise be to Allah in all circumstances).' (Sunan Ibn Majah 3847)
