Replying Jazak Allahua Khayran









In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
 
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"


Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

  
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

Saying "Jazak Allahu khayran" ("May Allah reward you generously") is established from the sunnah of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (pbuh).

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "If good is done to someone and then they say "Jazak Allahu khayran" to the one who did the good, they have indeed praised them well." [Tirmidhi]


What should one reply if someone says Jazak Allahu khayran to him?

There is a hadeeth in Saheeh Ibn Hibbaan in which the Sahaabi said Jazak Allahu Khyran to the Messenger (pbuh) and in reply he said
And you too, May Allah reward to with Khayr.
The Hadeeth is narrated by Usayd Ibn Hudair
wa iyyaka wa jazaka
“And you as well” (wa iyyaka) or “And may He reward you.” (wa jazaka)

Or we can also reply using ,,,,
"wa anta fajazakallahu khaira".

When two or more companions said to the holy prophet (sallallahu alyhi wa sallam) jazak
Allahu khair - the holy prophet replied
"wa antum fajazakumullahu khaira".


The word wa-iyyaakum has the same meaning and is the shorter version of wa-antum-fajazakumullahu-k​hair. Not a big deal though, but it is always better to use the words that are transmitted in sunnah than words that we invent.

The correct way of saying May
Allah reward you with good in different grammatical forms, i.e. to a man, woman, group etc.:


To a male: Jazak
Allahu khayran
To a female: Jazaki-llahu khayran

To two people (whether male/female): Jazakuma
Allahu khayran

To three men or more: Jazakum
Allahu khayran
To three women or more: Jazakumunna-llaahu khayran
