10 – Muhammad ibn al-Faraj al-Farraʾ told me; Muhammad ibn al-Zibriqan narrated to us, from Thawr, from Khalid ibn Maʿdan, who said: I heard ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwan declare, “No servant has ever uttered words dearer to Him or more comprehensive in giving thanks than to say, ‘Praise be to Allah, who has blessed us and guided us to Islam.’”
١٠ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْفَرَّاءُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ، يَقُولُ: " مَا قَالَ عَبْدٌ كَلِمَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ وَأَبْلَغَ فِي الشُّكْرِ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَقُولَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْنَا، وَهَدَانَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ "
