...............there has to be a proof in terms of Hadith. And if there is no Hadith ................

Jazakallah Khair[/quote]

[b][font=Century Gothic][size=2][blue]Assalamualaikum.

Your closing words are [i]&quot;JazakAllahu khair&quot;[/i] meaning [i]&quot;May Allah reward you for the good&quot;[/i] - for expression of thanks

How would a person not knowing Arabic undertand that you mean to thank him?

Similarly we say [i]&quot;Fi Amanullah&quot;[/i] meaning [i]&quot;may Allah protect you&quot;[/i] - by way of saying good-bye.

If you are saying that to someone who does not know Arabic, you will have to say it in a language best understood by your listener and that is part of Islamic etiqette.

Thus the words Khuda hafiz/Allah hafiz are prefered to bye-bye and ta-ta. among urdu speaking people.

And we commonly say,

BarakAllahu feekum (May Allah bless you) - when responding to someone’s thanks.

Subhaanallah (glory be to Allah) - for praising something

Insha Allah (if Allah wishes) - for expressing a desire to do something

Astaghfirullah (I beg Allah for forgiveness) - repenting for sins before Allah

Maa shaa Allah (as Allah has willed) - for expressing appreciation of something good.

However in my opinion, if your listener does not understand  the meaning of what you wish to convey, it would be better to say the meaning in a commonly understood language.
