How The Prophet (ï·º) Made Tasbeeh

Abdullah bin Amr (رضي الله عنه) narrates that He saw the Prophet (ï·º) count the glory of Allah on His right hand. The same hadith has been narrated in Abu Dawud with different words. Imam Albani has written the exact hadith in Albani as Sahihul- Jami'As-Saghir 4/271 (no. 4865). In another narration, Abdullah Bin Amru said: "I saw the Prophet (SAW) counting the glorification of his Lord on his right hand." [Hisnul 266] [Abu Dawud, At-Tirmizi 5/521.]

The Etiquette of Tasbeeh

Islam emphasizes greatly on remembering Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and saying Tasbeeh. The impact of it can be seen when the beloved daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ ) asks for a helper. The Prophet (ﷺ) said when you go to bed, repeat Takbir 34 times, Tasbih thirty-three times, and Tahmid thirty-three times, and that is better than the servant for you. (Sahih Bukhari 2727). Another hadith in Tirmidhi 3410 says two characteristics guaranteeing Jannah are very easy, but few people still act on them. It is to remember Allah after prayers and before going to bed. A hadith in Tirmidhi 3583 signifies the importance of making tasbeeh on fingers. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to hold fast to  At-Tasbih, At-Tahlil, and At-Taqdis and count them upon your fingers because the fingers will be questioned and made to speak on the day of judgment. 

The Benefits of Tasbeeh 

The benefits of reciting tasbeeh are manifold. Out of the countless benefits, a few are described below under the light of authentic ahadith.

1. Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) reported in Sahih Bukhari (6405) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said whoever says  'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,' a hundred times a day, all his sins will be forgiven even if they were equal to the foam of the sea.
2. There is another hadith in Sahih Bukhaari that reports the superiority of Tasbeeh. The Prophet  (ﷺ) said two expressions are easy to say but are hefty on the scale and dearest to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). They are 'Subhan Allah Al- `Azim and 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi.'" Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) has narrated this narrated this hadith. ( Sahih Bukhari 6406).
3. The Tasbeeh and remembrance of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)  profoundly impact our personality. In a hadith, the Prophet (ﷺ) compares the dead with the living by saying that the one who remembers Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is alive, and the one who doesn't remember Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is like the dead—narrated by Abu Musa. ( Sahih Bukhari 6407). 
4. Tasbeeh and remembering Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) is like multiplying your good deeds and harvesting a sea of virtues for your afterlife. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Companions( رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) can any of you earn 1000 rewards daily? One of the Companions( رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) said How? The Prophet (ﷺ) said who glorifies Allah 100 times a day.  Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). Allah Almighty will give him thousands of rewards, and his thousand sins will be removed.
