Sunan Ibn Majah 3802 (Book 33, Hadith 146) #33156
Praising Allah Opens the Gates of Heaven

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ praised a man for his words of praise to Allah and said that the gates of heaven were opened because of it.

It was narrated from 'Abdul-Jabbar bin Wa'il that : his father said: "I prayed with the Prophet and a man said: 'Alhamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi (Praise is to Allah, much, good and blessed praise)'. When the Prophet finished praying, he said: 'Who said that?' The man said: 'It was me, but I did not mean anything but good'. He said: 'The gates of heaven were opened because of it and nothing prevented it from reaching the Throne'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي قَالَ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا وَمَا أَرَدْتُ إِلاَّ الْخَيْرَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ فُتِحَتْ لَهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَمَا نَهْنَهَهَا شَىْءٌ دُونَ الْعَرْشِ
