Musnad Ahmad 1141 (Book 5, Hadith 556) #34782
Seeking Relief Through Praising Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught Fatimah (??? ???? ????) a better way to seek relief from her troubles than having a servant, which is to glorify Allah thirty four times, magnify Him thirty three times and praise Him thirty three times before going to bed.

It was narrated that Al-Hakam said: I heard ibn Abu laila say: 'Ali told us that Fatimah (رضي الله عنها) complained about the marks of the millstone on her hand. Some captives were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, so she went but did not find him. She met 'A'ishah (رضي الله عنها) and told her (why she had come). When the Prophet ﷺ came, 'A'ishah (رضي الله عنها) told him that Fatimah had come to her. The Prophet ﷺ came when we had gone to bed. We went to get up, but the Prophet ﷺ said: "Stay where you are". He sat between us and I felt the coolness of his feet on my chest. He said: 'Shall I not tell you of something that is better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed, magnify Allah thirty four times, glorify Him thirty three times and praise Him thirty three times. This is better for you than a servant'.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا اشْتَكَتْ مَا تَلْقَى مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّحَى فِي يَدِهَا وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَبْيٌ فَانْطَلَقَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ وَلَقِيَتْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ بِمَجِيءِ فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِلَيْهَا فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا فَذَهَبْنَا لِنَقُومَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى مَكَانِكُمَا فَقَعَدَ بَيْنَنَا حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكُمَا خَيْرًا مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَا إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا أَنْ تُكَبِّرَا اللَّهَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُسَبِّحَاهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدَاهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we are in need of relief or comfort, we should turn to Allah instead of relying on worldly solutions. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught Fatimah that instead of seeking help through a servant, she should glorify Allah by saying “tasbih” thirty four times, “tahmid” thirty three times and “takbir” thirty three times before going to bed. By doing this every night, she would be able to find solace in her troubles and receive comfort through praising the Almighty. This hadith also reminds us that even though worldly solutions may seem easier or more convenient at first glance, they do not provide lasting peace or satisfaction like turning towards God does. Therefore this hadith encourages us all to remember our Creator in our time of need and seek His help for any difficulty we face in life.
