Musnad Ahmad 838 (Book 5, Hadith 268) #34494
The Prayer of Glorification

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught Ali and Fatimah a prayer to glorify Allah, praise Him, and magnify Him before going to bed.

It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) that When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave Fatimah to him in marriage, he sent with her a velvet garment, a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibres, two millstones, a waterskin and two earthenware jars'.Ali said to Fatimah one day: By Allah, I have brought water until I felt a pain in my chest. He said: Some captives have been brought to your father, go and ask him for a servant. She said: And I, by Allah, have ground flour until my hands became sore. So she went to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "What brings you here, O my daughter?" She said: I have come to greet you; and she felt too shy to ask him, so she went back, 'Ali said: What happened? She said: I felt too shy to ask him. So we went together and I said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah I have brought water until I started to feel pain in my chest. And Fatimah said: I have ground flour until my hands hurt. Allah has brought you plenty of captives, so give us a servant. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Allah, I will not give it to you and leave ahlus-suffah starving when I have nothing to spend on them. Rather I will sell them (the captives) and spend the price on (ahlus-suffah)". So they went back. Then the Prophet ﷺ came, when they were under the cover which, if it covered their heads, it left their feet bare, and if it covered their feet, it left their heads bare. They wanted to get up, but he said: 'Stay where you are'. And then he said: 'Shall I not tell you of something that is better than what you asked for?" They said: Yes. He said: '(It is) words that Jibreel (عليه السلام) taught me'. He said: "Following every prayer, glorify Allah ten times, and praise Him ten times and magnify Him ten times. And when you go to your bed, glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times and magniIy Him thirty-four times". He said: By Allah, I never omitted that from the time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught it to me. ibn Ul-Kawwa’ said to him: Not even on the night of Siffin? He said: May Allah cause your doom, O people of Iraq! Yes, not even on the night of Siffin.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. It was narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib that when the Prophet Muhammad gave his daughter Fatimah in marriage to him, he sent her with a velvet garment, a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibres, two millstones, a waterskin and two earthenware jars. One day Ali told Fatimah that he had been carrying water until it caused pain in his chest while she had been grinding flour until her hands hurt. They asked the Prophet for help but he said that he could not give them anything as there were people who were poorer than them who needed help more than they did. Instead of giving them something materialistic, the Prophet taught them words which Jibreel had taught him; following every prayer they should glorify Allah ten times each for praising Him and magnifying Him and when going to bed they should do this thirty-three times each. This teaches us how important it is to remember Allah through prayers even if we are facing difficulties or hardships in life as He will always be there for us no matter what happens.
