481. Anas bin Mālik narrated that Umm Sulaim came upon the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Teach me some words that I can say in my Ṣalāt." So he said: "Mention Allāh's Greatness (saying: Allāhu Akbar) ten times, mention Allāh's Glory (saying: Subḥān Allāh) ten times, and mention Allāh's praise (saying: Al-Ḥamdulillāh) ten times. Then ask as you like, (for which) He says: 'Yes. Yes.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Al-Faḍl bin 'Abbās, and Abū Rāfi'. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Anas is a Ḥasan Gharīb Hadīth. Other Aḥādīth have been related from the Prophet ﷺ about Ṣalātut-Tasbīh, but there are not many things about it that are correct. Ibn Al-Mubārak and more than one of the people of knowledge have reported about Ṣalātut-Tasbīh and the virtues of it. Aḥmad bin 'Abdah Al-Āmuli narrated to us: Abū Wahb narrated to us: "I asked 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak about the Ṣalāt that has the Tasbīh in it. He said: 'One says the Takbīr then says: (Subḥānak Allāhumma wa biḥamdika wa tabārakasmuka wa ta'āla jadduka wa lā ilaha ghairuka) "Glorious You are O Allāh, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and there is none worthy of worship other than You." Then fifteen times he says: (Subḥān Allāh Wal-Ḥamdulillāh, Wa Lā Ilaha Ill-Allāh, Wa Allāhu Akbar) "Glorious is Allāh, and all praise is due to Allāh, and there is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and Allāh is Greatest." Then he says the Ta'wwudh and recites: In the Name of Allāh the Merciful, the Beneficent. And Fātiḥatil-Kitāb and a Sūrah. Then ten times he says: Subḥān Allāh wal-ḥamdulillāh, wa Lā Ilāha illallāh, wallāhu Akbar "Glorious is Allāh, and all praise is due to Allāh, and there is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and Allāh is Greatest." Then he bows, saying that ten times, then he raises his head [from bowing] and says it ten times. Then he prostrates, and says it ten times, then he raises his head and says it ten times. Then he prostrates the second time, and says it ten times. He prays four Rak'ah in this manner, so that will be seventy five Tasbīh in every Rak'ah. He starts every Rak'ah with fifteen Tasbīh, then he recites then says ten Tasbīh. If he prays during the night, then to me it is recommended to say the Taslīm for every two Rak'ah, and if he prays during the day, then if he wants to, he says the Taslīm, and if he does not want to, he does not say the Taslīm." Aḥmad bin 'Abdah said: Wahb bin Zam'ah narrated to us, he said: "Abdul-'Aziz informed me – and he is Ibn Abī Rizmah – he said: 'I said to 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak: If one becomes forgetful in it does he say the Tasbīh in the prostrations of As-Sahw ten times in each? He said: No. There are only three-hundred Tasbīh in it."
