It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were commanded to say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times after every obligatory prayer. Then an Ansari saw a dream in which someone asked him, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) command you to recite these tasbihat in this way after every prayer?" He replied, "Yes!" The person said, "Recite them twenty-five times each, and add twenty-five times La ilaha illallah to them." When morning came, he mentioned this dream to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do it in this way."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to write down revelation for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (One day, I was sitting beside the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when revelation began to descend and tranquility started to prevail. At that time, the thigh of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was upon my thigh. By Allah! I have never felt anything heavier than that. Then, when this state ended,) the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to me), "Zaid! Write." (I picked up a shoulder blade and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Write this verse:") "Those among the Muslims who sit back, not engaging in jihad, and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal." (I wrote it down.) Hazrat Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this verse and came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I love to strive in the way of Allah, but my disability is before you and I have lost my sight. O Messenger of Allah! What about the person who cannot participate in jihad, such as the blind, etc.? What should he do?" (By Allah! He had not yet finished his words when tranquility again descended upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his thigh came upon my thigh,) and its weight was so much on me that I feared it would break (until that state ended), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Write: 'Those among the Muslims who sit back, except those who are disabled and compelled, and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a tent out of a mat in the mosque and prayed in it for several nights, until people also began to gather. After a few days, the voice of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not heard, so people thought that perhaps the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had fallen asleep. Therefore, some people went near and started coughing so that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come out. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I was continuously observing your action until I feared that this prayer (Tahajjud) might become obligatory upon you, because if this prayer becomes obligatory upon you, you will not be able to adhere to it. Therefore, O people! Pray in your homes, for apart from the obligatory prayers, praying other prayers at home is the best for a person."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews, for they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration."
