Sunan Ibn Majah 3807 (Book 33, Hadith 151) #33161
The Benefits of Planting Words of Allah

SUMMARY: Planting the words of Allah in your heart is better than planting a physical tree.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that : the Messenger of Allah passed by him when he was planting a plant, and said: "O Abu Hurairah, what are you planting?" I said: "A plant for me". He said: "Shall I not tell you of a plant that is better than this?" He said: "Of course, O Messenger of Allah". He said: "Say: 'Subhan-Allah, wal-hamdu-lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wa Allahu Akbar (Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and Allah is the Most Great)' For each one a tree will be planted for you in Paradise".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سَوْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ مَا الَّذِي تَغْرِسُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ غِرَاسًا لِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى غِرَاسٍ خَيْرٍ لَكَ مِنْ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ يُغْرَسْ لَكَ بِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ شَجَرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith was narrated by Abu Hurairah and it talks about the importance of planting words from Allah in our hearts. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed by him when he was planting a plant and asked him what he was doing. When Abu Hurairah told him that he was planting a plant for himself, the Prophet ﷺ asked if he would like to know about something better than that. He said yes and then the Prophet ﷺ told him to say "Subhan-Allah, wal-hamdu-lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wa Allahu Akbar" which translates to "Glory is to Allah; praise is to Allah; none has the right to be worshiped but Allah; and God is Most Great". For each one of these phrases said with sincerity and faithfulness will result in a tree being planted for you in Paradise. This hadith teaches us how important it is for us as Muslims to remember our Lord through His words as this will bring us closer to Him and reward us with eternal bliss in Paradise.
