The Power of Saying Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar & Al-hamdu lillah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught a group of poor emigrants a way to catch up with those who have preceded them and get ahead of those who follow them, which is to say Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Al-hamdu lillah thirty-three times at the end of every Salaah.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some of the poor Emigrants came to Messenger of Allah and said to him, "The wealthy have obtained all high ranks and everlasting bliss". He asked, "How is that?" They replied: "They offer Salaah as we do, and observe Saum (fasting) as we do, but they give in Sadaqah (charity) and we do not, and they emancipate slaves and we cannot". He said, "Shall I not teach you something whereby you will catch up with those who have preceded you and will get ahead of those who follow you, and no one will surpass you unless he does the same as you do?" They said, "Surely, O Messenger of Allah". He said, "Say: Subhan Allah, and Allahu Akbar, and praise Him (by saying Al-hamdu lillah) thirty-three times at the end of every Salaah". They returned to him and said: "Our brothers, the possessors of wealth, having heard what we are doing, have started doing the same". Messenger of Allah said, "This is Grace of Allah which He gives to whom He wishes". Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن فقراء المهاجرين أتوا رسول الله فقالوا‏:‏ ‏ "‏ذهب أهل الدثور بالدرجات العلى والنعيم المقيم، فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏وما ذاك‏؟‏” فقالو”‏:‏يصلون كما نصلى، ويصومون كما نصوم ويتصدقون ولانتصدق، ويعتقون ولا نعتق فقال‏:‏ رسول الله ‏:‏” أفلا أعلمكم شيئا تدركون به من سبقكم، وتسبقون به من بعدكم ، ولا يكون أحد أفضل منكم إلا من صنع مثل ما صنعتم‏؟‏” قالوا‏:‏ بلى يا رسول الله ، قال‏:‏ تسبحون ، وتكبرون، وتحمدون ، دبر كل صلاة ثلاثاً وثلاثين مرة” فرجع فقراء المهاجرين إلى رسول الله ، فقالو‏:‏ سمع إخواننا أهل الأموال بما فعلنا، ففعلوا مثله‏؟‏ فقال رسول الله “ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ، وهذا لفظ ‏رواية مسلم‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Say "SubhanAllah", "AllahuAkbar" & "Alhamdulillah" thirty three times at the end of every Salaah .
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of saying certain phrases after prayer. It teaches us that if we say “Subhan Allah” 33 times, “Allahu Akbar” 33 times and “Alhamdulillah” 33 times after each prayer then we will be able to catch up with those who have preceded us in good deeds and get ahead of those who follow us. This is because these phrases are expressions of praise for God Almighty and gratitude for His blessings. They also help us remember our purpose in life which is to serve Him alone. Furthermore, this hadith shows that even if someone has less resources than others they can still strive for excellence by doing what they can with what they have been given.
