1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “All the angels of heaven who write, cannot note the reward of a person who says Al- h’amdulillaahi kamaa huwa ahluh?” Someone asked, “Why is it so?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “(Angels do not know the reward of this statement so they will say to Allah): O Lord! We do not have the knowledge of unseen. Then God will say, ‘You write the statement as My servant says, I will reward him accordingly.”
