Hadith 3798

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ , عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ , أَخْبَرَنِي سُمَيٌّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ , عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ قَالَ فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ , لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ , وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ , كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ , وَكُتِبَتْ لَهُ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ , وَمُحِيَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ سَيِّئَةٍ , وَكُنَّ لَهُ حِرْزًا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ سَائِرَ يَوْمِهِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ , وَلَمْ يَأْتِ أَحَدٌ بِأَفْضَلَ مِمَّا أَتَى بِهِ , إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ أَكْثَرَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that :` the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: "Whoever says one hundered times each day: La ilaha illahu wahdahu la sharikalahu, wa lahul-mulku wa lahul hamduwa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner or associate. His is the dominion, all praise is to Him, and He is able to do all things), it will be equivalent to him freeing ten slaves, and one hundered merits will be recorded for him, and one hundered bad deeds will be erased from (his record), and it will be a protection for him against Satan all day until night comes. No one can do anything better then him except one who says more.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The remembrance of Allah is the best means of attaining reward.

➋ Some forms of remembrance (adhkar) are a greater cause of reward than monetary charity and almsgiving.

➌ The prescribed (masnun) remembrance is a means of protection from Shaytan.

➍ There are so many blessings and benefits present in the prescribed (masnun) adhkar that there is no need to invent additional forms of remembrance alongside them. Moreover, self-invented forms of remembrance are not a cause of reward either.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From these ahadith of Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), it is understood that adding to these words is desirable, and such addition becomes a cause for increased reward and merit. This is not like those matters in which neither decrease nor increase is permissible.

Explanation:
1:
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone,
He has no partner or associate,
To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise,
He alone gives life and He alone causes death, and He has power over all things.
