صَالِحٌ مَوْلَى وَجْزَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a heavy woman. Teach me something that I can say while sitting." He said, "Say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the greatest) one hundred times. It is better for you than one hundred adorned, accepted bodies. And say 'SubhanAllah' (glory be to Allah) one hundred times. It is better for you than one hundred saddled, bridled horses that you ride in the cause of Allah. And say 'Alhamdulillah' (praise be to Allah) one hundred times. It is better for you than one hundred slaves whom you free from the descendants of Isma'il. And say 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no deity but Allah) one hundred times. They will not leave any religion or deed ahead of it."

جِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ ثَقُلْتُ فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ وَأَنَا جَالِسَةٌ قَالَ قُولِي اللهُ أَكْبَرُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ مِائَةِ بَدَنَةٍ مُجَلِّلَةٍ مُتَقَبَّلَةٍ وَقُولِي سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ مِائَةِ فَرَسٍ مُسْرَجَةٍ مُلْجَمَةٍ تَحْمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَقُولِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ تُعْتِقِينَهَا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَقُولِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ لَا يَذَرُونَ دِينًا وَلَا يَسْبِقُهُنَّ عَمَلٌ

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a pregnant woman and I am experiencing difficulty. Teach me something to say while I am sitting." He said, "Say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) one hundred times, for it is better for you than one hundred adorned and accepted body sacrifices. And say 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) one hundred times, for it is better for you than one hundred saddled and bridled horses that you carry in the cause of Allah. And say 'Subhanallah' (Glory be to Allah) one hundred times, for it is better for you than one hundred liberated slaves from the descendants of Ismail whom you set free. And say 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah) one hundred times, it will be a protection for you from sins and actions will follow it."

[Machine] One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have grown old and weak, or as she said. So command me to do a deed while I am sitting." He said, "Say 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah) one hundred times, as it is equivalent to freeing one hundred slaves from the offspring of Isma'il and say 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) one hundred times, as it is equivalent to riding one hundred armored horses carrying you in the cause of Allah, and say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) one hundred times, as it is equivalent to killing one hundred hostile enemies, and say 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no deity except Allah) one hundred times, as it fills the space between the heavens and the earth. On that day, no one brings a deed like yours except if they were to bring the same."

[Machine] I said, "O Prophet of Allah, I am a woman who has become old and weak, so guide me towards a deed." He said, "Glorify Allah one hundred times, praise Allah one hundred times, and exalt Allah one hundred times. It is better for you than offering one hundred acceptable sacrifices, better than riding one hundred well-trained horses for the sake of Allah, and better than freeing one hundred slaves whose freedom is accepted. Saying 'there is no god but Allah' does not leave any sin or action similar to it."

[Machine] Um Hanee, the mother of Hanee, asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I am a heavy woman. Teach me supplications that Allah will benefit me with." He said, "Say: 'SubhanAllah' (Glory be to Allah) one hundred times, it is equivalent to freeing one hundred slaves for the sake of Allah, and say: 'Alhamdulillah' (All praise is due to Allah) one hundred times, it is equivalent to riding one hundred bridled horses in the cause of Allah, and say: 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) one hundred times, it is equivalent to donating one hundred camels prepared for sacrifice to the House of Allah, and say: 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah) one hundred times, it will protect you from sins after associating partners with Allah."
