Sunan Ibn Majah 3810 (Book 33, Hadith 154) #33164
The Power of Glorifying Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of glorifying Allah and how it is better than any other good deed.

It was narrated that Umm Hani' said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a (good) deed, for I have become old and weak and overweight'. He said: 'Proclaim the greatness of Allah (say Allahu Akbar) one hundred times, praise Allah (say Al-Hamdu Lillah) one hundred times, and glorify Allah (say Subhan-Allah) one hundred times. (That is) better than one hundred horses bridled and saddled for the sake of Allah, better than one hundred sacrificial camels, and better than (freeing) one hundred slaves'."
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى، زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ مَنْظُورٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ، قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَإِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَضَعُفْتُ وَبَدَّنْتُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ كَبِّرِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَاحْمَدِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَسَبِّحِي اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ فَرَسٍ مُلْجَمٍ مُسْرَجٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ بَدَنَةٍ وَخَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of glorifying Allah and how it is a greater deed than any other good deeds. Umm Hani' came to the Prophet Muhammad and asked him for a good deed that she could do as she was old and weak. He told her to proclaim the greatness of Allah one hundred times, praise Him one hundred times, and glorify Him one hundred times. This was better than having one hundred horses bridled and saddled for His sake or sacrificing one hundred camels or freeing one hundred slaves. This hadith teaches us that even though we may not be able to do great deeds due to our age or physical condition, we can still perform small acts such as praising God which are just as powerful in His eyes. It also shows us that no matter what our circumstances are in life, we should always strive to remember God's greatness by praising Him constantly.
