40 - وَ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا دَخَلَ اَلْخَلاَءَ يَقُولُ: « اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلْحَافِظِ اَلْمُؤَدِّي » فَإِذَا خَرَجَ مَسَحَ بَطْنَهُ وَقَالَ - « اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي أَخْرَجَ عَنِّي أَذَاهُ وَ أَبْقَى فِيَّ قُوَّتَهُ فَيَا لَهَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ لاَ يَقْدِرُ اَلْقَادِرُونَ قَدْرَهَا.
Hadith.40 - When Imam Ali 
would enter the restroom, he would say:
Alhamdulillah al-Hafiz al-Mu’addi
"Praise be to Allah (swt), the Preserver and the One who brings all matters to their fulfilment."
Upon exiting, he would wipe his abdomen and say:
Alhamdulillahi alladhi akhraja ‘anni adhaahu wa abqa fiyya quwwatahu, fa ya laha min ni‘matin la yaqdiru al-qadiroona qadraha
"Praise be to Allah (swt), who has removed harm from me and left within me strength. What a blessing it is, one whose value cannot be fully appreciated by any capable of appreciation.'"
