Hadith

 

عن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:

((قل: سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله؛ فإنهن الباقيات الصالحات، وهن يحططن الخطايا كما تحط الشجرة ورقها، وهي من كنوز الجنة))

 

It is related by Abu-al-Darda, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet of Allah (SAW) said:

 

“Say: Subhan-Allah wa al-Hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha ill Allah wa Allahu Akbar wa la hawla wa la quwwata illah Billah!

For they are the good deeds that endure (till the Hereafter), and they shed your off sins like a tree sheds off its leaves, and they are from the treasures of Paradise!”

NOTE:

 

Mawlana Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) recommended the recitation of the above mentioned Tasbih 10 times in the morning, evening & mid-night, as part of one’s daily Dhikr schedule, and stated that one recitation of it is equal to continuous Dhikr of Allah for 24 hours.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ

وَالْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ نَاصِرِ الْحَقِّ بِالْحَقِّ

وَالْهَادِي إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

وَ عَلَى آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ مِقْدَارِهِ الْعَظِيمِ
