So I said: ‘If you were to approach your father and ask him for a servant?’ So he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: ‘Should I not direct the two of you, to that which is better for you than a servant? When the two of you lay down to sleep, say thirty-three, thirty-three, thirty-four, of At-Tahmīd, At-Tasbih, and At-Takbir.’” (Ṣaḥīh)

Commentary
The Prophet (ﷺ) made them realize that a servant is a transient human being and remembrance of Allāh (ﷺ) is everlasting, or it may also mean that these words of remembrance of Allāh (ﷺ) give enough energy and power that one has no need of a servant.
