Jami at-Tirmidhi 3554 (Book 48, Hadith 185) #29203
Glorifying Allah in the Best Way

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught Saffiyah a better way to glorify Allah than counting date pits.

Saffiyah narrated: "The Messenger of Allah entered upon me and before me were four thousand date pits, I was making Tasbih with them. He said: 'You have made Tasbih with these? Should I not teach you that which is more than what you have made Tasbih with?’ So I said: 'Indeed, teach me.’ So he said: 'Say: glory is to Allah according to the number of His creation (Subḥan Allahi 'adada khalqihi).’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي كِنَانَةُ، مَوْلَى صَفِيَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ صَفِيَّةَ، تَقُولُ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَىَّ أَرْبَعَةُ آلاَفِ نَوَاةٍ أُسَبِّحُ بِهَا فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ سَبَّحْتُ بِهَذِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكِ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَبَّحْتِ بِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى عَلِّمْنِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قُولِي سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ صَفِيَّةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْكُوفِيِّ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Saffiyah tells us about the importance of glorifying Allah. It is said that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) entered her house and saw her counting four thousand date pits as a form of Tasbih, which is an act of glorifying God. He then taught her something more meaningful and powerful than what she was doing, which was to say “Glory be to Allah according to the number of His creation”. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for excellence in our worship and seek out ways to increase our love for God through acts such as reciting His praises or making du'a. We should also remember that no matter how small or insignificant an act may seem, it can still be used as a way to show our appreciation for Him and His creations.
