Abu Hurayrah raḍyAllāhu 'anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported: The poor came to
the Messenger of Allāh ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)
and said: “Oh, Messenger of Allāh, the wealthy have gone with the highest ranks
and lasting bliss. They offer ṣalāh (prayer) as we offer it; they observe fast
as we do; and as they are wealthy, they perform Hajj and 'Umrah, and go for
Jihad, and they spend in charity.” The Messenger of Allāh said, “Shall I not
teach you something with which you may overtake those who surpassed you and
with which you will surpass those who will come after you? None will excel you
unless he who does which you do. You should recite: Tasbeeh (Allāh is free from
imperfection – Subhan Allāh), Takbeer (Allāh is Greatest – Allahu Akbar),
Tahmeed (Praise be to Allāh – AlHamdu lillah) thirty-three times after each ṣalāh.” [Bukhāri]Labels: Quote of the Day
