[087] Returning the supplication of one who says ‘May Allaah bless you’ |

'Aa.ishah (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhaa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) was given a sheep and he ordered for it’s distribution. When the servant would come back [from distributing it], 'Aa.ishah would ask: ‘What did they say?’, he replied: ‘They would supplicate:

‘May Allaah bless you all.’

...'Aa.ishah would then say:

‘and may Allaah bless them.’

...we return their supplication in a similar way and our reward remains with us.
