Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Allah, most High, revealed to Prophet Moses (AS) saying, ‘O Moses, thank Me with the thanks that is due to Me. Moses asked, ‘O Lord, but how can I thank You with the thanks that is due to You, when every single expression of thanks that I may convey has been bestowed upon Me by You? He replied, ‘O Moses, you thank Me with the thanks that is due to Me when you acknowledge that it is indeed from Me.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أوحَى اللّهُ تعالى إلى موسى (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): يا موسى ، اشكُرْني حَقَّ شُكرِي ، فقالَ: يا ربِّ كيفَ أشكُرُكَ حَقَّ شُكرِكَ ، وليسَ مِن شُكرٍ أشكُرُكَ بهِ إلّا وأنتَ أنعَمتَ بهِ عَلَيَّ ؟ ! فقالَ: يا موسى شَكَرتَني حَقَّ شُكري حينَ عَلِمتَ أنَّ ذلكَ مِنّي.
