Does shukr (gratitude) fall under hamd (praise)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The word is one of the phrases in the hadiths that signifies gratitude; through supplication, meaning the servant utters it as gratitude to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) in the Sunnah. We often hear the word "shukr" (gratitude) and it has great virtue, thanking Allah for His blessings. Is there a supplication in the hadiths using the word "shukr" (gratitude)?

The Shaykh : Gratitude to whom? To whom has done good to you?

The questioner : To Allah.

The Shaykh : Gratitude to Allah?

The questioner : To Allah, yes; for example: "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah). Many hadiths have been transmitted with the phrase "Alhamdulillah" (Mighty and Majestic). Now we ask about the word "shukr" (gratitude).

The Shaykh : Yes, do you mean as a regular recitation?

The questioner : Ah, as a regular recitation, is there something evident in the Sunnah?

The Shaykh : No, it has not been transmitted.

The questioner : Okay; does hamd (praise) include shukr (gratitude)? If we say "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah), does the word "shukr" (gratitude) to Allah fall under this phrase?

The Shaykh : I do not know.

The questioner : It seems that hamd (praise) is broader than shukr (gratitude)?

The Shaykh : I think so.
