Hazrat Ubaid says that for me to recite a few tasbihat is more beloved than spending the same number of dinars in the way of Allah.

Hazrat Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates: When a servant says "Subhan Allah," the angels say "Wa bihamdihi," and when the servant says "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi," the angels pray for mercy for him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed that he says: When a servant says "Alhamdulillah kathiran" (All praise is due to Allah in abundance), the angel says: How should I write this? Allah says: Write it as My abundant mercy. And when the servant says "Subhanallah kathiran" (Glory be to Allah in abundance), the angel says: How should I write this? Allah says: Write for him My abundant mercy. And when the servant says "Allahu Akbar kabira" (Allah is the Greatest, Most Great), the angel says: How should I write this? Allah says: Write for him My great mercy.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon that he said: Is any one of you incapable of reciting Tasbeeh one hundred times so that he may have a thousand good deeds for him?

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Awfa that he said: A man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He mentioned that he could not learn anything from the Qur'an and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something that would suffice him in place of the Qur'an. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Say: Subhan Allah, walhamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Nu’man bin Bashir that he says the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:“Those people who recite the tasbih (glorification), tahmid (praise), and tahlil (declaration of the oneness of Allah) out of awe of Allah, their tasbihat circle around the Throne. These tasbihat make a buzzing sound like that of bees. They remember the one who recited them. Does any one of you not like that there should be something with the Most Merciful that continuously remembers him?”

Hazrat Yasirah … who was among the emigrant women … narrates. She says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed us: "You must recite tasbih, takbir, and taqdis, and count them on your fingers. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: For these fingers will be summoned and questioned on the Day of Resurrection. Do not be heedless, lest you be forgotten from mercy."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The wealthy have taken all the reward. Just as we pray, they also pray; just as we fast, they also fast; and just as we perform Hajj, they also perform Hajj. And they also give charity, whereas we do not find anything to give in charity." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you something, that when you do it, you will catch up with those who have surpassed you, and those who come after you will not be able to catch up with you except by doing what you do? After every prayer, recite Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times."

Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates a similar tradition from the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

It is narrated from Hazrat Hilal bin Yasaf that he says Hazrat Abdullah said: For me to recite a few tasbihat is more beloved than spending the same number of dinars in the way of Allah.
