4. Express thankfulness through body parts
Along with tongue, we should express thankfulness through our other body parts such as hand, feet and eyes etc., too that only righteous and permissible acts should be committed though our body parts; we should refrain ourselves from impermissible and forbidden acts even we should refrain our body parts from useless acts. Sayyiduna Ziyad رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه narrated: Upon the one who obtains a blessing, one right of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is that he should not commit disobedience through that blessing. (Tareekh Madinah Dimashq, vol. 19, pp. 191)
5. Patience upon hardship
We should cultivate the habit of showing patience in the times of hardship too. For example thanks to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we have not been suffering any fatal disease or trouble. Even our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی used to become happy upon facing the hardships.
Once Sayyiduna Fath Mawsili رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه suffered from headache, he became delighted and said: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed upon me that illness, which the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام used to experience and as thankfulness, I will offer 400 Nafl (supererogatory) Salah. (152 Rahmat Bhari Hikayaat, pp. 171)
