6318. Narrated 'Alī رضي الله عنه: Fāṭima complained about the blisters on her hand because of using a millstone. She went to ask the Prophet ﷺ for a servant, but she did not find him (at home) and had to inform 'Āishah of her need. When he came, 'Āishah informed him about it. 'Ali added: The Prophet ﷺ came to us when we had gone to our beds. When I was going to get up, he said, "Stay in your places," and sat between us, till I felt the coolness of his feet on my chest. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Shall I not tell you of a thing which is better for you than a servant? When you (both) go to your beds, say 'Allāhu-Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhān Allāh' thirty-three times, and 'Alḥamdu lillāh' thirty-three times; for that is better for you than a servant." [Ibn Sirīn said, "Subhān Allāh" (is to be said for) thirty-four times."

6318 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الحَكَمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ: أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ شَكَتْ مَا تَلْقَى فِي يَدِهَا مِنَ الرَّحَى، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْأَلُهُ خَادِمًا فَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَنَا وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا، فَذَهَبْتُ أَقُومُ، فَقَالَ: «مَكَانَكِ» فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَنَا حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي، فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمَا عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ؟ إِذَا أَوَيْتُمَا إِلَى فِرَاشِكُمَا، أَوْ أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا، فَكَبِّرَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَسَبِّحَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَاحْمَدَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، فَهَذَا خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ» وَعَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: «التَّسْبِيحُ أَرْبَعٌ وَثَلاَثُونَ»

(1) (H. 6317) O Allāh! All the praises and thanks be to You; You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them, and all the praises and thanks be to You. You are the Keeper of (One Who looks after) the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them, and all praises and thanks be to You; You are the Truth, and Your Promise is true, and Your Sayings are true, and the Meeting with You is the truth and the Paradise is the truth, and Hell is the truth, and the Hour is the truth, and the Prophets are true, and Muḥammad (Allāh's Messenger ﷺ) is the truth. O Allāh! I submit myself to You, and I depend on You, and I believe in You, and I turn in repentance to You, and in Your Cause I fight, and with Your Orders I rule, so please forgive my past, present and my future sins and whatever I have done in secret, and whatever I have done in public. You are the One Who makes the things go before and You are the One Who delays them. None has the right to be worshipped but You (or: None has the right to be worshipped other than You).
