(A little sister’s question)
For the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), I sent him lots of blessings and wrote him a letter. I did the same for Imam Sadiq (AS). Are they happy with my gifts? I want to know whether they tell God and the other kind Imams that Mahya has sent us a birthday gift.

Dear questioner,

The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)
God is the first to know of your sincere gifts, and your gifts are a source of pride for the revered ones before the other prophets of God. The more sincere the gift, the greater their joy.
