The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one who eats and gives thanks has a reward like that of the one who fasts and is patient."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: الطاعم الشاكر له مثل أجر الصائم الصابر.
Ibn Majah (1765), Ahmad and his son (19014), and Darimi (2067) all narrated it from the hadith of Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad, who said, Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abu Hurrah informed me, from his uncle Hakeem bin Abu Hurrah, from Sinan bin Sinnah, and he mentioned it.Except that Darimi added after "Sinan bin Sinnah" the words "from his father," which the scholars have pointed out. However, the editor of Darimi and the editor of Ithaf Mahra (6/64) removed the phrase "from his father," even though it is established in most of the manuscripts. It is said that Darimi's teacher, Naeem bin Hammad, made an error in this, so beware.Its chain is hasan due to the discussion surrounding Abdul-Aziz bin Muhammad, who is Darawardi, for there is disagreement about him, except that his hadith is hasan.There is also disagreement regarding Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abu Hurrah. Darawardi narrated it in this manner, while Sulayman bin Bilal narrated, Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abu Hurrah told me, from his uncle Hakeem bin Hurrah, from Salman Aghar, from Abu Hurairah, who said, "I do not know it except from the Prophet ﷺ," and he mentioned the hadith.Imam Ahmad (7889), Hakim (4/136), and Bayhaqi (4/306) narrated it through this route.Ibn Abu Hatim, in Al-Ilal (2/13-14), reported from Abu Zura that when he was asked, "Which of the two is more sahih?" he said, "The hadith of Darawardi is more likely to be correct."
