حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَال : قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالدُّثُورِ بِالْأَجْرِ ، يَقُولُونَ كَمَا نَقُولُ ، وَيُنْفِقُونَ وَلَا نُنْفِقُ ، قَالَ لِي : " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ أَدْرَكْتُمْ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ وَفُتُّمْ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ ؟ تَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ، وَتُسَبِّحُونَهُ ، وَتُكَبِّرُونَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ ، وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ ، وَأَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ " ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّتُهُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ ؟ .
´It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:` “It was said to the Prophet (ﷺ) and perhaps (one of the narrators) Sufyan said: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Those who have property and wealth have surpassed us in reward. They say the same as we do, and they spend but we do not spend.’ He said to me: ‘Shall I not tell you something which, if you do it, you will catch up with those who have surpassed you and you will excel over those who come after you? Praise Allah (by saying Al- Hamdu Lillah) after every prayer, and glorify Him (by saying Subhan- Allah) and extol Him (by saying Allahu Akbar), thirty-three, thirty- three, and thirty-four times.’” Sufyan said: “I do not know which of them was to be recited thirty-four times.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The spirit of competing in good deeds is noteworthy.
➋
The remembrance of Allah (dhikr) at times becomes a cause for greater reward than even acts of financial worship.
➌
The meaning of “catching up with those who have gone ahead” is that those people who, by performing many other good deeds, have reached higher ranks than you—through the blessing of the remembrance of Allah, you can attain even higher ranks than them. And those who perform more good deeds but are heedless of the remembrance of Allah cannot attain as many ranks as you. Therefore, along with other good deeds, attention towards the remembrance of Allah is also necessary.
➍
Here, the narrator is uncertain as to which of the three phrases is to be recited thirty-four times. From other narrations, it becomes certain that the phrase to be recited thirty-four times is “Allahu Akbar.” (: Sunan Abi Dawud, Al-Adab, Chapter on Tasbih at the time of sleep, Hadith: 5062)

➎ And Sunan an-Nasa’i, As-Sahw, Hadith: 354, and Sunan al-Bayhaqi (Du‘a), in these the order of the dhikr is: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar. According to the research of Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, the last phrase in this narration (“his sins will be forgiven...etc.”) is not authentic; rather, it is interpolated. However, from other narrations, this phrase is established as being marfu‘ (attributed directly to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
