حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الصَّبَاحِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَانِئُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ الإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلانَ ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ ، وَسُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أبي بكر عبد الرحمن بن هشام ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ذَكْوَانَ السَّمَّانِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَى فُقَرَاءُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، " ذَهَبَ ذَوُو الأَمْوَالِ بِالدَّرَجَاتِ ، يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي ، وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ ، وَيَحُجُّونَ كَمَا نَحُجُّ ، وَلَهُمْ فُضُولُ أَمْوَالٍ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ مِنْهَا ، وَلَيْسَ لَنَا مَا نَتَصَدَّقُ ، فَقَالَ : أَلا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ أَدْرَكْتُمْ مَنْ سَبَقَكُمْ ، وَلَمْ يَلْحَقْكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِكُمْ إِلا مَنْ عَمِلَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عَمِلْتُمْ بِهِ ؟ تُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّهَ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلاةٍ ثَلاثًا وَثَلاثِينَ ، وتحَمَدُونَهُ ثَلاثًا وَثَلاثِينَ ، وَتُكَبِّرُونَهُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاثِينَ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الأَغْنِيَاءَ ، فَقَالُوا مثل مَا قَالُوا ، فَأَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُ ، فَقَالَ : ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ رَجَاءٍ ، إِلا ابْنُ عَجْلانَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The poor Muslims came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The wealthy have taken all the reward from us; they pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they perform Hajj as we do. But they have wealth, so they give charity from it, and we do not give charity because we do not have wealth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you of an action, that if you do it, you will catch up with those who have gone ahead, and those who come after will not be able to catch up with you, except those who do as you do? After every prayer, say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times." When this hadith reached the wealthy, they also began to recite this remembrance, and did as the poor did. So the poor came again and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is the grace of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills."

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).

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)
