Sahih al-Bukhari 3705 (Book 62, Hadith 55) #3538
Seeking Comfort Through Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught Ali and Fatima a better way to seek comfort than having a servant, which is to recite Allahu-Akbar, Subhan Allah and Al hamdu-li l-lah thirty four, thirty three and thirty three times respectively before going to bed.

Narrated 'Ali: Fatima complained of the suffering caused to her by the hand mill. Some Captives were brought to the Prophet, she came to him but did not find him at home 'Aisha was present there to whom she told (of her desire for a servant). When the Prophet ﷺ came, Aisha informed him about Fatima's visit'.Ali added "So the Prophet ﷺ came to us, while we had gone to our bed I wanted to get up but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Remain at your place". Then he sat down between us till I found the coolness of his feet on my chest. Then he said, "Shall I teach you a thing which is better than what you have asked me? When you go to bed, say, 'Allahu-Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan Allah thirty-three times, and 'Al hamdu-li l-lah thirty-three times for that is better for you both than a servant".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ، عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ شَكَتْ مَا تَلْقَى مِنْ أَثَرِ الرَّحَا، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَبْىٌ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ، فَوَجَدَتْ عَائِشَةَ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ بِمَجِيءِ فَاطِمَةَ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَيْنَا، وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا، فَذَهَبْتُ لأَقُومَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَى مَكَانِكُمَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَعَدَ بَيْنَنَا حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكُمَا خَيْرًا مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَانِي إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا تُكَبِّرَا أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَتُسَبِّحَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَتَحْمَدَا ثَلاَثَةً وَثَلاَثِينَ، فَهْوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by 'Ali tells us about the importance of prayer in seeking comfort. When Fatima complained of the suffering caused by the hand mill, she asked for a servant but instead of granting her wish, the Prophet ﷺ taught them something better - reciting Allahu Akbar 34 times, Subhan Allah 33 times and Alhamdulillah 33 times before going to bed. This is an important lesson for us as it teaches us that prayer can be more beneficial than material things in providing comfort. It also reminds us that we should always turn to God first when we are in need or distress as He will provide us with what is best for our spiritual growth. Furthermore, this hadith also encourages us to make supplications regularly as it can bring peace and tranquility into our lives.
