Advise to Fatimah ᴿᴬ to recite a particular tasbih before going to sleep

adab:635Abū Nuʿaym > Salamah > Anas

a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ to complain to him of a need. He said: "Shall I show you something better than that? You should say, lā ilāha illa Allāh (There is no god but Allah) 33 times when you go to sleep and say subḥān Allāh (Glory be to Allah) 33 times, and say al-ḥamdu lillāh (Praise be to Allah) 34 times, and then that hundred is better than his world and all that it contains."

الأدب المفرد:٦٣٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ

أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ الْحَاجَةَ أَوْ بَعْضَ الْحَاجَةِ فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ تُهَلِّلِينَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثِينَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِكِ وَتُسَبِّحِينَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتَحْمَدِينَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَتِلْكَ مِئَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا»
