Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) said: 'If one of you looks at someone who is superior to him in wealth and creation, then let him look at someone who is inferior to him. This is more likely to make you disregard the favors of Allah.' (This hadith, Sahih al-Bukhari 6490 and Sahih Muslim 2963, is related in spirit to the concept of gratitude and not envying others. The specific dua mentioned is found in Sunan Ibn Majah 3847, narrated by Aisha, who said: 'When the Prophet (๏ทบ) saw something that pleased him, he would say: "Praise be to Allah, by Whose grace good deeds are completed."') **The specific dua:** > **Arabic:** ุงููุญูู ูุฏู ููููููู ุงูููุฐูู ุจูููุนูู ูุชููู ุชูุชูู ูู ุงูุตููุงููุญูุงุชู > **Translation:** "All praise is due to Allah, by Whose grace good deeds are completed." > **Transliteration:** *Alhamdulillah alladhi bi ni'matihi tatimmus-salihฤt* โ Sunan Ibn Majah 3847
