English translation

3810. It was narrated that Umm Hānī' said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, tell me of a (good) deed, for I have become old and weak and overweight.' He said: 'Proclaim the greatness of Allāh (say Allāhu Akbar) one hundred times, praise Allāh (say Al-Hamdu Lillāh) one hundred times, and glorify Allāh (say Subhān-Allāh) one hundred times. (That is) better than one hundred horses bridled and saddled for the sake of Allāh, better than one hundred sacrificial camels, and better than (freeing) one hundred slaves." (Da'if)

Arabic text

3810 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ مَنْظُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَإِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَضَعُفْتُ وَبَدُنْتُ، فَقَالَ: «كَبِّرِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، وَاحْمَدِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، وَسَبِّحِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ فَرَسٍ مُلْجَمٍ مُسْرَجٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ بَدَنَةٍ، وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ»

Commentary

a. The one who is not able to do great deeds, for such a person, remembrance of Allāh is better than those acts. b. An aged person should engage himself more in remembrance of Allāh.
