Answer

Walaykumsalaam,

It is desireable to make dua (supplication) for one who has done you any good.

Imam Nawawi رحمه الله has established a chapter in his Book of Remembrances (كتاب الأذكار)
‘Supplicating for those who treat one well, or for all people or some people, and praise and encouragement for doing so’

Under this chapter, he narrates a Hadith from Imaam Tirmidhi’s (رحمه الله) Sunan from Hadhrat Usama ibn Zayd (رضي الله عنه) that the Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Whoever is treated well and says

جزاك الله خيرا

‘May Allah Reward You With Goodness’
has expressed praise to the fullest.”

Therefore we supplicate by saying Jazakallah which means ‘May Allah Reward You’.
