The questioner : He praises, he praises... Alhamdulillah.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is said that this person is a praiser but not a grateful one.
The questioner : He did not fulfill the praise.
The Shaykh : A praiser who is not a grateful one is like one who says "La ilaha illa Allah." Does one who says "La ilaha illa Allah" fulfill its meaning, meaning does he act in accordance with its implications? Not necessarily.
