What is better, Shukran or Jazaakallaahu Khayran?
Question to Al-Allaamah Ahmad An-Naajmi (rahimahullaah)
What is the ruling on the saying [Shukran (i.e. thank you)] to the one who did good to a person?
Answer:
Whoever does so [i.e. says Shukran ] has indeed abandoned what is better and that is the statement [جزاك الله خير – May Allaah reward you with good]

Why do you seek knowledge? Ponder upon this statement of Imaam Ahmad
Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah) stated:
(There) is nothing equal to knowledge, for the one who makes his intention correct (i.e. sincere). So they (i.e. the people) said: And how do (we) make the intention correct (i.e. sincere) O father of Abdullaah?! He said: You make an intention to remove ignorance from yourself and others.

A means of receiving Allaah’s Aid and Assistance- By Imaam Ibnul Qayyim
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
”The level of a slave’s (sincerity) in his intention, determination, aim and fervent desire determines Allaah’s Tawfeeq (i.e. Allaah’s guidance for a slave and enabling him to act upon it) and His Aid for him. Aid and Assistance from Allaah descends upon the slaves in accordance with the (sincerity) in their determination.”

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
The greatest type of reliance upon Allaah is: Reliance upon Allaah in (seeking) guidance; establishing Tawheed; adhering to the path of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and striving against the people of falsehood. This is the Tawukkul of the Messengers and particularly that of their (true) followers.
