‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The treasure of faith is gratitude to Allah (SWT).’ [This narration refers to the concept of gratitude being a core part of faith, though the specific dua is a distinct teaching.] Another narration states: When something pleased him, the Prophet (ﷺ) would say: 'Praise be to Allah, by Whose grace good deeds are completed.'
