15.1 The Excellence of the Remembrance of Allah

١٥۔١ باب فضل الذكر والحث عليه

(1439) tirmidhi:3465Muḥammad b. Rāfiʿ > al-Muʾammil > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever says: ‘Glory is to Allah, the Magnificent, and with His Praise (Subḥān Allāhil-Aẓīm, wa biḥamdih)’ a date-palm tree is planted for him in Paradise.”  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Gharīb.
(١٤٣٩) الترمذي:٣٤٦٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُؤَمِّلُ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ غُرِسَتْ لَهُ نَخْلَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ

Doing the dhikr of tasbih, tahmid plants the gardens of Jannah

(1440) tirmidhi:3462ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ziyād > Sayyār > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Ziyād > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Isḥāq > al-Qāsim b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman from his father > Ibn Masʿūd

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I met Ibrahim on the night of my Isrāʾ ˹and Miʿrāj˺, so he said: "O Muhammad, give my Salam to your Ummah, and inform them that Jannah has pure (rich) soil and delicious water, and that it is a flat treeless plain, and that its seeds are:

subḥān Allāh, wa-al-ḥamdu lillāh wa-lā ilāha illā Allāh wa-Allāhu akbar

(Perfection belongs to Allah, and all praise belongs to Allah, and there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ other than Allah, and Allah is greater.)"  

(١٤٤٠) الترمذي:٣٤٦٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي فَقَالَ: «يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّي السَّلاَمَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ: وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا:

(سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ) وَ(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ) وَ(لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ) وَ(اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ)۔»  

قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
(1441) tirmidhi:3377al-Ḥusayn b. Ḥurayth > al-Faḍl b. Mūsá > ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿīd > Ibn Abū Hind > Ziyād a freed slave of Ibn ʿAyyāsh > Abū Baḥriyyah > Abū al-Dardāʾ ؓ > Qāl al-Nabī ﷺ

the Prophet said: “Should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the purest of them with your Master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks, and they strike your necks?” They said: “Of course.” He said, “The remembrance of Allah [Most High].” [Then] Mu’adh bin Jabal [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “There is nothing that brings more salvation from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah.”  

(١٤٤١) الترمذي:٣٣٧٧حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ زِيَادٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ؓ مَا شَيْءٌ أَنْجَى مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْهُ فَأَرْسَلَهُ

that he entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon a women, before her was a date-seed – or he said – stone – that she would make Tasbih with. So he ﷺ said: “Should I not inform you of what is easier for you then this, and better? Glory to Allah according to the number of what He created in the sky, and glory to Allah according to the number of what He created in the earth, and glory to Allah according to the number of what is between that, and glory to Allah according to the number of what He is going to create, and Allah is great, in similar amount to that, and all praise is due to Allah, in similar amount to that, and there is no might or power except by Allah, in similar amount to that (Subḥān Allāhi ʿadada mā khalaqa fis-samā’ wa subḥān Allāhi ʿadada mā khalaqa fil-arḍ, wa subḥān Allāhi ʿadada mā baina dhālik, wa subḥān Allāhi ʿadada mā huwa khalaq, wa Allāhu akbaru mithla dhālik, wal ḥamdu lillāhi mithla dhālik, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāhi mithla dhālik).”

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih)

"The Prophet (saas) heard me saying: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (there is no power and no strength except with Allah).' He said: 'O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I not tell you of a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Say: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'"

سَمِعَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

Should I not direct you to the words from the treasures of Paradise, or he said: Like a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Of course, do that. Thereupon he said:" There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The nearest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication (in this state).
