In the Name of Allaah…
Dr. Muhammad Baazmool (may Allaah preserve him) mentioned that there is no specified answer from the Sunnah to Jazaak Allaahu Khayran, read here.
To add something to that: The phrase “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran“ (may Allaah reward you well) is something that is from the Sunnah to be said to express thanks or praise, due to the hadeeth:
مَنْ صُنِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفٌ فَقَالَ لِفَاعِلِهِ: جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا. فَقَدْ أَبْلَغَ فِي الثَّنَاء.
On the authority of Usaamah Ibn Zayd, he said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) said: “Whoever has had something nice done for him and then says to his companion, ‘Jazaak Allaahu Khayran,’ then he has surely excelled in praising (him).”
Al-Albaanee authenticated it in Saheeh Sunan At-Tirmithee #2035 (2/392).
So then it is not like other phrases found in the Sunnah that have specified answers, like:
1) Al-Hamdulillaah — Yarhamukallaah — Yahdeekumullaahu wa Yuslihu Baalakum
2) As-Salaamu ‘alaykum — wa ‘Alaykumus-Salaam
3) Uhibbuka fillaah — Ahabbak Allaahul-lathee Ahbabtanee feeh, etc
These are all supported by evidences. We may not say that the response to a certain phrase must be such-and-such except with evidence.
So then a person may respond to “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran” with any number of Arabic phrases that make sense, like:
Aameen wa iyyaak
Wa jazaak
Aameen wa jazaak
Wa iyyaak kathaalik
Wa iyyaanaa ajma’een
Wa iyyaak bi’ashri amthaalihaa, etc.
Or other phrases in English:
Aameen, and to you brother
Aameen, to you likewise
And may He reward you too
And to you
To you the same, etc.
And this is done without clinging to any one phrase. So actually “Aameen Wa Iyyaak“ is a very sensible reply in Arabic. The shaykh only made a difference between saying it sometimes and saying it as if it is legislated in the Deen.
So we have to make a note here since many of us fall into this when we are learning Arabic. The phrase “Kayfa Haaluk“ does not have a legislated answer. It is not a must to reply, “Tayyib wal-Hamdulillaah.” This is simply something taught since it is a common conversation, like “How are you?” and “I’m fine.” It should not be taken as legislation, meaning that when you hear someone say, “Jayyid walillaahil-Hamd“ you correct him. Rather many of us stick to “Tayyib wal-Hamdulillaah“ since it is the only phrase we know in Arabic. We do not intend to make it deen, but it is unfortunately our constant, unchanging answer to “Kayfa Haaluk“.
Likewise, “Aameen Wa Iyyaak.” It is just something we were taught as a conversation. “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran, Aameen Wa Iyyaak“ its fine like that, it makes sense. But we have to realize it is not Deen. The specific phrase of “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran“ is Deen, but the reply is left up to how ever you want to answer. I am not suggesting that you must learn all those phrases I mentioned above and meanwhile you have a lot of legislated supplications to still learn, but you could simply not reply sometimes when someone says “Jazaak Allaahu Khayran“ as there is no obligatory or recommended reply needed. You could also mix up “Aameen, Wa Iyyaak“ with a simple “Aameen” or simply “Wa Iyyaak“, and sometimes no reply. Here you have four different answers.

Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah):
We say to a person: Rely on yourself when it comes to people. Do not ask them for anything and do not lower yourself in front of them. And make sure you are not in need of them as much as you are able to. But when it comes to Allah, do not be self-sufficient! But always keep (asking Him and) depending on Him until things become easier for you.

The Prophet (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) said:
لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا، ولو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طلق.
“Do not look down on any act of kindness, even if it is just meeting your brother with a pleasant smile on your face.”
A pleasant smile causes people to become happy, wins over their love and affection, and leads to both parties having good thoughts of each other. Just try it and you will see!
Saheeh Muslim (2626); on the authority of Aboo Tharr (may Allaah be pleased with him).

#Seek_an_excuse_for_your_brother
Al-Bayhaqi reported: Abu Qilabah, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If you hear something about your brother that you hate, then make an effort to obtain an excuse for him. If you do not find an excuse, then say to yourself: Perhaps my brother has an excuse I do not know.”
Ḥilyat al-Awliyā 2485
Hamdun Al-Qassar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “If one of your brothers commits an error, then seek seventy excuses for him. If your hearts do not accept it, then know that the fault is with yourselves.”
Source: Shu’ab al-Imān 10436
Al-‘Allamah Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
"What is legislated for the believer is to respect his brother if he offers an excuse to him, to accept his apology if possible, and to think positively of him as much as possible, striving to keep hearts free of resentment and aiming to bring about unity and co-operation in doing good. It was narrated from ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Do not think badly of any word uttered by your brother when you can find a good interpretation for it." End quote

Muhammad ibn Abdul wahhab was from the Banu Tameem tribe.
Whilst the Sufis & Shias dance with the Dajjal, the tribe of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaabs will be fighting against it.
good qualities of the people of najd (banu tamim) from sahih hadith
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani tamim ever since I heard, three things, Allah's Apostle said about them. I heard him saying,
These people (of the tribe of Bani tamim) would stand firm against Ad-dajjal."
When the Sadaqat (gifts of charity) from that tribe came, Allah's Apostle said,
"These are the Sadaqat (i.e. charitable gifts) of our folk."
'Aisha had a slave-girl from that tribe, and the Prophet said to 'Aisha, "Manumit her as she is a descendant of Ishmael (the Prophet)."
(Sahih Al Bukhari. Book #46, Hadith #719) (Bukhari Book #59, Hadith #652)(Sahih Al-Muslim. Book #031, Hadith #6133,6134)
Narrated Abu Huraira: I have not ceased to like Banu tamim ever since I heard of three qualities attributed to them by Allah's Apostle (He said): They, out of all my followers, will be the strongest opponent of Ad-dajjal; 'Aisha had a slave-girl from them, and the Prophet told her to manumit her as she was from the descendants of (the Prophet) Ishmael; and, when their Zakat was brought, the Prophet said, "This is the Zakat of my people."
(Book #59, Hadith #652)
Abu Huraira reported: Since I heard three things from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) my love for Banu tamim is never on the decline (and these things are): I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying about them that they would put up stout resistance against Dajjal amongst my Umma. And he (the narrator) said: (When) the consignment of Zakat was brought to him, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: This is the charity of our people, and there was one slave-girl in the house of 'A'isha and she was from the tribe of Banu tamim; thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Set her free, for she is from the offspring of Isma'il. The other hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira with a slight variation of wording.
(Sahih Al-Muslim. Book #031, Hadith #6133)
Abu Huraira reported: There are some distinguishing features of Banu tamim which I heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and my love for them is never on the decline after that and the words are: They are the bravest amongst people in the battlefield and there is no mention of (the word)" Dajjal".
(Sahih Al-Muslim. Book #031, Hadith #6134)
Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee said, "this hadeeth also contains a clear mention of the excellence and superiority of Bani Tameem." [Fath 5/217]
Banu Tamim are the majority of people of the so-called Najd (Saudi Arabia). To label Najd as that area of Saudi Arabia would be in contradiction of the many hadeeth relating to Bani Tameem especially those in which they fight the Dajjal, who comes from the Najd that is to the East.

The Prophet ﷺ said:“The people who face the most difficult tests are the prophets, then the righteous, then those following them in degree. A person is tried according to his religion. So if there is firmness in his religion, then the trial is increased, and if there is a weakness, then it is lightened. Verily a trial remains with a servant until he walks the earth having no sin left upon him.” [Bukhari].

An Age of Deception
Islām has become something strange for many Muslims.
On the one hand, you have people who are educated in Islām and have knowledge, but have fallen into the trap of appeasing the atheistic values and Western ideals. As a result, the desperately try to conform to the innovated belief system which falls under the guise of science, even though science was never meant to be a religious belief, but an investigation of the world around us. In Islām, our sources are from Allāh, the Creator of everything.
On the other hand, we have general everyday Muslims among whom many are realizing that going back to learning and practicing Islām is the way to success, but fall prey to those mentioned in the previous paragraph, and thus, end up getting confusing and conflicting ideas. They look to misguided people of scholarship who have taken the liberty of watering down Islām and making it more "practical" to fit into Western ideals which are based on atheism or polytheism, or both.
Then you have self-proclaimed influencers who have turned Islām into fun, song and entertainment. They have made light of Allāh's religion. They have spoken about Allāh without knowledge. Again, their attempt is to give Muslims some "Ḥalāl" entertainment.
Lastly, there are those who are Muslims, more or less by name. They sin openly and shamelessly and find any and every excuse to justify their actions. Under the "don't judge me" nonsense, they try to find a way to put on a show of piety despite their blatant disrespect for Allāh and His religion. This last category will go to the misguided scholars and self-proclaimed influencers to get their so-called "Islamic education".
We are living in deceiving times. Don't be from any of the above. Go straight to the scholars and the books of the Sunnah. It is a matter of salvation. Islām is not something part-time, nor is it something that is custom-made to suit one's desire and convenience.
Allāh says in Noble Qur'ān 2:208
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
Islām has become something strange for many Muslims.
On the one hand, you have people who are educated in Islām and have knowledge, but have fallen into the trap of appeasing the atheistic values and Western ideals. As a result, the desperately try to conform to the innovated belief system which falls under the guise of science, even though science was never meant to be a religious belief, but an investigation of the world around us. In Islām, our sources are from Allāh, the Creator of everything.
On the other hand, we have general everyday Muslims among whom many are realizing that going back to learning and practicing Islām is the way to success, but fall prey to those mentioned in the previous paragraph, and thus, end up getting confusing and conflicting ideas. They look to misguided people of scholarship who have taken the liberty of watering down Islām and making it more "practical" to fit into Western ideals which are based on atheism or polytheism, or both.
Then you have self-proclaimed influencers who have turned Islām into fun, song and entertainment. They have made light of Allāh's religion. They have spoken about Allāh without knowledge. Again, their attempt is to give Muslims some "Ḥalāl" entertainment.
Lastly, there are those who are Muslims, more or less by name. They sin openly and shamelessly and find any and every excuse to justify their actions. Under the "don't judge me" nonsense, they try to find a way to put on a show of piety despite their blatant disrespect for Allāh and His religion. This last category will go to the misguided scholars and self-proclaimed influencers to get their so-called "Islamic education".
We are living in deceiving times. Don't be from any of the above. Go straight to the scholars and the books of the Sunnah. It is a matter of salvation. Islām is not something part-time, nor is it something that is custom-made to suit one's desire and convenience.
Allāh says in Noble Qur'ān 2:208
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
O you who have believed, enter into Islām completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.

Al-Hafiz Ibn Al-Jawzi (may Allah grant him mercy) said:
"The one who is dead isn't the one who's soul has left his body. Rather, the one who is truly dead is the one who doesn't understand what his Lord's rights are upon him."
[At-Tadhkirah fi Al-Wa'az 1/18]

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah [رحمه الله] said:
«من تمام نعمة الله على عباده المؤمنين أن ينزل بهم الشدة والضر وما يلجئهم إلى توحيده فيدعونه مخلصين له الدين.»
“From the complete blessings of Allaah upon His believing worshippers is that He afflicts them with hardship, harm and that which will cause them to seek refuge and turn to Allaah's Tawheed, so that they make Dua to Him and sincerely make the Deen for Him.”
[Fatawa, (10/333) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

The Correct Understanding Of Tawakkul (To Depend/Rely Upon Allah) and Tawakkul Subsequent Actions:
Question: - I would like a detailed explanation so that I can correctly understand the following Hadith: - “Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.”
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا

لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
Answer: - This Hadith was narrated by
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said:
لو أنكم كنتم توكلون على الله حق توكله لرزقكم كما يرزق الطير تغدو خماصا وتروح بطانا
“Were you to depend upon Allah with true dependence/reliance, He would have provided for you like He provides for the bird; early in the morning he leaves hungry, but returns at the end of the day with a full stomach.” ” (At-Tirmithi no. 2344, Ibn Majah no.4I64, Ahmad 1/30,52, Ibn Hibban no. 2548 and Al-Hakim 4/318) “This Hadeeth is Hasan Sahih.”
The reality of Tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allah) is heartfelt, sincere reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) in bringing benefit and warding off harm, whether in the affairs of this life or the Hereafter.
The meaning of this Hadith is that if people, in their hearts, truly rely on Allah Alone and put all their trust in Him in bringing about benefit and warding off harm, while also adopting the helpful means, He will provide them with sustenance by the simplest of means, just as He provides birds with sustenance merely by their going out and coming back.
It is a kind of endeavor that shows its fruits with little effort put forth into the pursuit.
Thus, realizing Tawakkul does not contradict implementing the means that Allah (Exalted be He) has provided and the destiny, which He decreed, is based upon.
This is the Constant Law of Allah in the affairs of His Creation: He has commanded mankind to adopt the means along with His Command of putting total trust in Him. The physical effort in pursuit of means is obedience to Allah (Exalted be He), whereas reliance of the heart on Allah is Imaan in Him. Allah (Exalted be He) says:
وَعلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
So fear Allah. “And in Allah let believers put their Trust” [Ibrahim 14:11]
Tawakkul is mentioned here together with Taqwa (fear of offending Allah), which in this context stands for the duty of acting according to the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He).
Tawakkul without making use of the means enjoined by Allah (Exalted be He) is total incapacity, even if it is mixed with a sort of Tawakkul. People should not transform their Tawakkul into non-action, or regard their non-action as Tawakkul; rather, they should make their Tawakkul a part of the means, remembering that no end can ever be achieved unless they are all utilized.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
