English translation
1504. Abū Hurairah narrated that Abū Dharr said: "O Messenger of Allāh! The rich people have taken away all the blessings! They pray as we pray, and they fast as we fast, but they have extra money with which they give charity, and we do not have any money from which to give charity." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O Abū Dharr, should I not teach you some phrases by which you will be able to catch up with those who have passed you, and those behind you will not be able to catch up with you except if they do as you will do?" He replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allāh." So he said: "Say the Takbīr after every prayer thirty-three times, and the Tahmīd thirty-three times, and the Tasbīh thirty-three times, and complete it (the hundredth) with: 'Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, wa huwa 'alā kulli shai'in qadīr' (None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh alone; He has no partners. To Him belongs the Kingdom, and to Him belongs praise, and He is capable of all things.)' (If you do so) your sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the ocean." (Ṣaḥīh)
