Usamah bin Zaid (RA) reported: The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said, "He who is favored by another and says to his
benefactor: 'Jazak-Allah khairan
(may Allah reward you well)' indeed praised (the benefactor)
satisfactorily."
Commentary
If you are unable to return someone's kindness with kindness, you should say, "Jazak-Allahu khairan (may Allah reward you well)." This means: "I am unable to reciprocate your kindness. May Allah grant you the best reward for it." This is the best kind of repayment to another fellows favor because there is no match for the reward that he/she will get from Allah. For this reason our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that it was the best of the praise for a benefactor.
