AbuDharr said: Prophet of Allah. The wealthy people have all the rewards; they pray as we pray; they fast as we fast; and they have surplus wealth which they give in charity; but we have no wealth which we may give in charity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Abu Dharr, should I not teach you phrases by which you acquire the rank of those who excel you? No one can acquire your rank except one who acts like you. He said: Why not, Messenger of Allah? He said: Exalt Allah (say: Allah is Most Great) after each prayer thirty-three times; and praise Him (say: Praise be to Allah) thirty-three times; and glorify Him (say: Glory be to Allah) thirty-three times, and end it by saying, "There is no god but Allah alone, there is no partner, to Him belongs the Kingdom, to Him praise is due and He has power over everything". His sins will be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ الدُّثُورِ بِالأُجُورِ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَلَهُمْ فُضُولُ أَمْوَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِهَا وَلَيْسَ لَنَا مَالٌ نَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ تُدْرِكُ بِهِنَّ مَنْ سَبَقَكَ وَلاَ يَلْحَقُكَ مَنْ خَلْفَكَ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِكَ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ تُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ ﷻ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُهُ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتُسَبِّحُهُ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتَخْتِمُهَا بِلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ الدُّثُورِ بِالْأَجْرِ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَلَهُمْ فُضُولُ أَمْوَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ تُدْرِكُ بِهِنَّ مَنْ سَبَقَكَ وَلَا يَلْحَقُكَ مَنْ خَلْفَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِكَ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «تُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُحَمِّدُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُسَبِّحُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَخْتِمُهَا بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy people have gone in this world and the Hereafter. They pray as we pray, remember Allah as we remember, and strive as we strive. But we cannot find anything to give in charity." He said, "Shall I not tell you something? If you do it, you will catch up to those who came before you and surpass those who come after you, except for those who do as you have done. Say 'Subhan Allah' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdulillah' thirty-three times, and 'Allahu Akbar' thirty-four times after every prayer." Shurayk ibn Abdullah went against him and narrated it from Abdul Aziz ibn Rufay' who narrated it from Abu Umamah who narrated it from Abu Darda.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْأَمْوَالِ بِالدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي وَيَذْكُرُونَ كَمَا نَذْكُرُ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ كَمَا نُجَاهِدُ وَلَا نَجِدُ مَا نَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «ألَا أُخْبِرُكُ بِشَيْءٍ إِذَا أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَهُ أَدْرَكْتَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَمْ يَلْحَقْكَ مَنْ كَانَ بَعْدَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتَ تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُكَبِّرُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً» خَالَفَهُ شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ  

[Machine] A person said, "Indeed, I cannot find anything better than what I am presenting to you. I asked the Prophet ﷺ about it, and I asked the Prophet ﷺ , saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy Muslims do good deeds such as fasting as we do, they pray as we do, and they give in charity. But we do not have wealth to give in charity. Can you guide us to something that if we did it, no one who came before us or after us would surpass us except for those who do the same thing as we do?' He said, 'O Abu Darda, shall I not guide you to something if you do it, no one before you or after you would surpass you except for those who do the same thing as you do? After every prayer, you should say Tasbih (glorification of Allah) thirty-three times, Tahmid (praising Allah) thirty-three times, and Takbeer (declaring the greatness of Allah) thirty-four times.' Sufyan bin Sa'id narrated this from Abdul Aziz bin Rufai' from Abu Umama As-Saini from Abu Darda."  

ظَاعِنٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي مَا أَجِدُ مَا أَضِيفُكَ بِهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْهُ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَمْوَالِ بِالْخَيْرِ يَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَيُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَمْوَالٌ نَتَصَدَّقُ؟ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ ألَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إنْ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَهُ لَمْ يَسْبِقْكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْكَ مَنْ كَانَ بَعْدَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ جَاءَ بِمِثْلِ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ؟ تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُكَبِّرُهُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ» [65] خَالَفَهُمَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ الصِّينِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy companions have gone with worldly and Hereafter gains. They pray, fast, and strive just like we do, and they give charity while we do not give charity?" He said, "Shall I not guide you to something that if you hold onto, you will surpass those who came before you and those who come after you, except for those who do the same as you did? You should glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times, and declare His greatness thirty-four times after every prayer." Shu'bah followed this narration from Al-Hakam, from Abu 'Umar al-Sinee, from Abu ad-Darda.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَمْوَالِ بِالدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيُجَاهِدُونَ كَمَا نَفْعَلُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ؟ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْرٍ إنْ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ أَدْرَكْتَ مَنْ سَبَقَكَ وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْكَ مَنْ بَعْدَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَمِلْتَ؟ تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُكَبِّرُهُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ» تَابَعَهُ شُعْبَةُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ الصِّينِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ  

"أَلا أُعلِّمُكَ كَلِمَات إِذا أنتَ قُلتهُنَّ أَدركتَ من سَبَقَكَ ولم يلحقك من خَلْفك إِلَّا من عَمِلَ مثلَ عَمَلِكَ تُسبِّحُ اللَّهَ تعالى دُبر كلِّ صلاة ثلاثةً وثلاثين، وتحمِّدهُ ثلاثةً وثلاثين، وتكبِّرهُ ثلاثةً وثلاثين، وتختمها بلا إِله إِلا اللَّه وحده لا شريك له، لَهُ الملكُ وله الحمدُ، وله الشُّكرُ، وهو على كلِّ شئٍ قديرٌ ".  

"عَنْ أَبِى الدَّرَدْاءِ قُلتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله: ذَهَبَ الأغنِيَاءُ بالأَجْر، يُصَلُّون كَما نُصَلِّى، ويَصُومُونَ كَما نَصُومُ وَيُحجُّونَ كَمَا نَحُجُّ، وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَجِدُ مَا نَتَصَدَّقُ، فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَىْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلتُمُوهُ أَدْركْتُمْ مَنْ سَبَقَكُمْ، ولا يُدْرِكُكُم مَنْ بَعْدِكُم إِلَّا مَنْ عَمِلَ بالَّذى تَعْمَلُونَ: تُسَبِّحونَ الله ثَلَاثًا وثَلَاثينَ، وتحمدُونَه ثَلَاثًا وثَلَاثِينَ، وتُكَبِّرونَه أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثينَ فِى دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ".  

"يَا أبا ذَر أَلَا أُعَلمكَ كَلِمات إِذا قُلْتهنَّ أَدْرَكتَ مَن سَبَقَكَ، وَلَا يلْحَقُ بِكَ أَحدٌ بَعْدَكَ إِلا مَنْ أَخَذَ بِمِثلِ عَمَلِكَ: تُكَبِّرُ في دُبُر كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِين تكَبْيرَة، وَتحمدُ ثَلَاثًا وثَلَاثِين تَحميدَة، وَتُسبِّح ثلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِين تَسْبِيحَة، وَتَخْتِمُها بِلَا إِلَه إلَّا الله وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلَكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِير".
