English translation
1297. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to Al-'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib: "O 'Abbās, O my uncle! Should I not give something to you? Should I not give you a present? Should I not give a gift to you? Should I not (instruct) you to ten things — if you were to do them, Allāh will forgive your sins; the first of them and the last of them, the old of them and the new of them, the unintentional of them and the intentional of them, the small of them and the large of them, the hidden of them and the public of them. Ten things, (which are:) that you pray four Rak'ahs, in each Rak'ah you recite Fātiḥat Al-Kitāb (Sūrat Al-Fāḥah) and a Sūrah. Then, when you have completed the recitation in the first Rak'ah, and you are still standing, say: 'Subhān Allāh, wal-ḥamdulillāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu Akbar' (Glorious is Allāh, and all praise is due to Allāh, and none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and Allāh is the Most Great)' fifteen times. Then go into Rukū', and say it while you are in Rukū' ten times. Then raise your head from the Rukū' and say it ten times. Then go into prostration and say it while you are in prostration ten times. Then raise your head from the prostration and say it ten times. Then prostrate and say it ten times. Then raise your head and say it ten times. This comes out to seventy-five times in every Rak'ah, and you do this for four Rak'ahs. If you are able to pray this once every day, do so. And if you do not do so, then once every week. And if you do not do so, then once every month. And if you do not do so, then once every year. And if you do not do so, then once in your lifetime." (Hasan)
