Dear questioner, Master Ali Saei
Tracking code: #Q-2912

(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.

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.

The Merciful God knows of the gift you have sent before the blessed figures do. The purer the gift, the greater the honour it brings them before the other prophets of God.
