So Hazrat Abdullah called that woman and asked her: Are you the one who recites tasbih and counts it? She replied: Yes! I do so.

Hazrat Abu Uthman narrates that Hazrat Sulaiman said: When a servant remembers Allah in a state of happiness and praises Him in a state of ease, then if any hardship befalls him and he supplicates to Allah, the angels say, "It is the familiar voice of a weak servant," and then they intercede for that servant before Allah. But when a servant does not remember Allah in a state of happiness nor praises Him in a state of ease, and then some hardship befalls him and he supplicates to Allah, the angels say, "It is a bad voice."
