Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi (may Allah SWT bless his soul) writes:
'Nurturing the love of God keeps a person away from disobeying Him and violating His orders. What shall we do to keep this love of God in our heart so that we remain near to Him even if we experience affliction and adversity? What shall we do to be so hopeful that even if we are thrown into hellfire, the hope of God’s mercy is not removed from our hearts? What is the way of nurturing love of God and hope in Him? In this part of Du‘a’ Abu Hamzah al-Thumali quoted earlier, Imam al-Sajjad (AS) said that “If ever my love for You is not removed from my heart, it is because I do not forget Your blessings. Neither do I forget Your concealment of my sins and lapses.” It can be inferred from these statements that if man wants the love of God to remain in his heart, he must constantly remember God and His ample blessings.

...It is necessary to set a certain time during the day or night to think about and remember God’s blessings and His concealment of our lapses. Let us remember His blessings and Him for these blessings although, as stated by Imam al-Hussain (AS), even if a person spends his entire life thanking God for His blessings, he will not be able to duly thank Him for even a single blessing except through His permission. (Dua Arafah of Imam al-Hussain AS). To express gratitude and attain the station of the grateful [shakirin] is a status given by God to His faithful servants, otherwise who could be able to duly express gratitude for His blessings?'
(In the Presence of the Beloved, Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi, A Commentary on Dua Abu Hamza Thumali)


The supplication known as Du‘a’ Abu Hamzah al-Thumali which is recited before dawn, during the month of Ramadan, is one of the noble and substantial supplications transmitted from Imam ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn Zain al-Abideen (AS).

Abu Hamza al-Thumali, a companion of Imam al-Baqir (‘a) and Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) recorded this supplication from Imam al-Sajjad (‘a). Abu Hamzah was called “the Salman of his time”.
This great supplication in itself bespeaks of his knowledge and personality. (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 98, p. 82, hadith 2,)
