HADITH
Zikr (Remembrance Of) Allah
Allah’s Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam) said: If anyone extols Allah (Subhan Allah) after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah (Al Hamd-u-Lillah) thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness (Ahhah-u-Akbar) thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and say to complete a hundred: “There is no god but Allah, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him to praise due, and He is Potent over everything,” his sins will be forgiven even if these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (Razi Allah Ta’lah Anhu); Muslim transmitted it.
Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever says: 'La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir,’ one hundred times will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.”
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (Razi Allah Ta’lah Anhu); Sahih Bukhari transmitted it. Vol 8:#412 of Sahih Bukhari.
Allah’s Messenger (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wassallam) said that if any Muslim said three times evening and morning, “I am pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad as Prophet,” Allah would certainly please him on the Day of Resurrection.
Narrated by Thawban (Razi Allah Ta’lah Anhu); Tirmidhi and Ahmad transmitted it. Hadith No. 2399 of Mishkat al-Masabih.
The people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The rich people have got the highest degrees of prestige and the permanent pleasures (in this life and the life to come in the Hereafter).” He said, “How is that?” They said, “The rich pray as we pray, and strive in Allah’s Cause as we do, and spend from their surplus wealth in charity, while we have no wealth (to spend likewise).” He said, “Shall I not tell you a thing, by doing which, you will catch up with those who are ahead of you and supersede those who will come after you; and nobody will be able to do such a good deed as you do except the one who does the same (deed as you do). That deed is to recite 'Subhan Allah ten times, and 'Al-Hamdulillah ten times, and ‘Allahu Akbar’ ten times after every prayer.”
