Qisas.com
A man reached 70 years of age and he faced a disease; he could noturinate. The doctors informed him that he was in need of an operationto cure this disease. He agreed to have the operation done as theproblem was giving him much pain for days. When the operation wascompleted, his doctor gave him the bill which covered all the costs.The old man looked at the bill and started to cry. Upon seeing this thedoctor told him that if the cost was too high then they could make someother arrangements. The old man said "I am not crying because of themoney but I am crying because Allah let me urinate for 70 years and Henever sent me a bill."
...and if you try to count the blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them... Surah Ibrahim
Allah states that the servants are never able to count His blessings,let alone thank Him duly for them. In Sahih Al-Bukhari it is recordedthat the Messenger of Allah( Peace and blessings be upon him) used tosupplicate;
�اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيَ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا�
O Allah ! All praise is due to You, without being able to sufficientlythank You, nor ever wish to be cutoff from You, nor ever feeling richfrom relying on You; our Lord!
It was reported that Prophet Dawud peace be upon him, used to say inhis supplication, "O Lord! How can I ever duly thank You, when mythanking You is also a favor from You to me''
Allah the Exalted answered him, "Now, you have thanked Me sufficiently,O Dawud,'' meaning, `when you admitted that you will never be able toduly thank Me.'
