Then he said, "Shall I tell you a thing which is better than what you asked me for? When you go to your beds, say: 'Allahu Akbar (i.e. Allah is Greater)' for 34 times, and 'Al hamdu Li llah (i.e. all the praises are for Allah)' for 33 times, and Subhan Allah (i.e. Glorified be Allah) for 33 times. This is better for you than what you have requested."

When she asked him for a servant from among the captives and mentioned her hardship in kneading and grinding flour, the Prophet (ﷺ) entrusted her needs to reliance upon Allah.
