It does not matter which of them you begin with. And do not name your servant boy Yasar, Rabah, Najih or Aflah, for you will ask, 'Is he there?' and if he is not, the answer will be 'No.'" [Samura added:] They are only four, so do not add to them in my name.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Shall I not teach you something by which you will catch up with those who have gone ahead of you and stay ahead of those who come after you, and no one will be better than you except someone who does what you do?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Glorify Allah, declare His greatness, and praise Him at the end of every prayer thirty-three times."

  Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The poor came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "The people of wealth have carried off the highest ranks and lasting bliss. They pray as we pray and fast as we fast, and they have extra wealth with which they perform Hajj and 'Umra, strive in Allah's cause, and give charity." He said: "Shall I not tell you of something which, if you hold to it, you will catch up with those who went ahead of you, no one after you will catch up with you, and you will be the best of the people you live among—except someone who does the same? Glorify Allah, praise Him, and declare His greatness after every prayer thirty-three times." We then disagreed among ourselves; some of us said: "We glorify thirty-three times, praise thirty-three times, and declare His greatness thirty-four times." So I went back to him, and he said: "Say Subhan Allah, al-hamdu lillah, and Allahu akbar, until you have thirty-three of each."

And when you pray the morning prayer, say the same, for if you die that day, protection from it will be written for you."

  عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَقَرَأَ ثَلاَثَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْحَشْرِ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِنْ مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَاتَ شَهِيدًا وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي كَانَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ "

  Ma'qil ibn Yasar reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever says in the morning three times: A'udhu billahi as-sami'i al-'alimi mina ash-shaytani ar-rajim (I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from Satan the outcast), and recites three verses from the end of Surat al-Hashr, Allah appoints seventy thousand angels to pray for him until evening; and if he dies that day, he dies a martyr. And whoever says it in the evening has the same standing."

  قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

  Abu 'Isa (at-Tirmidhi) said: This hadith is gharib; we know it only through this route.

Tirmidhi called it gharib (known through one chain only). It speaks of morning and evening rather than after prayer specifically, which is why the tesbihat places it at Fajr and Maghrib.

  عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ قَرَأَ بِالآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ"

  Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever recites the last two verses of Surat al-Baqara at night, they will be enough for him."

  قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الآيَتَانِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ مَنْ قَرَأَهُمَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ "

  (Abu Mas'ud said:) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The last two verses of Surat al-Baqara—whoever recites them at night, they will be enough for him."

These passages are Qur'an. No hadith was found that assigns them to Dhuhr or Asr. Their place in the tesbihat comes from the tradition.

• Tirmidhi 3505 Sahih Sa'd ibn Abi WaqqasThe du'a of Dhun-Nun (Yunus) in the whale, "La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu mina'z-zalimin" (21:87), is answered whenever a Muslim calls on Allah with it.

  عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " دَعْوَةُ ذِي النُّونِ إِذْ دَعَا وَهُوَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ . فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُ بِهَا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ "

  Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The supplication of Dhu an-Nun (Jonah) when he called out from the belly of the whale was: La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni kuntu mina az-zalimin (There is no god but You; glory be to You; I have indeed been among the wrongdoers). No Muslim ever calls upon Allah with it for anything without Allah answering him."

  عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، {حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ} قَالَهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ، وَقَالَهَا مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ قَالُوا {إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ}

  Ibn 'Abbas said: "Hasbuna Allahu wa ni'ma al-wakil (Allah is enough for us, and He is the best One to rely on)"—Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said it when he was thrown into the fire, and Muhammad ﷺ said it when people told them: "The people have gathered against you, so fear them"; but it only increased them in faith, and they said: "Allah is enough for us, and He is the best One to rely on."

  عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَالِسًا وَرَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ دَعَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى "

  Anas reported that he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while a man was praying. Then the man supplicated: "O Allah, I ask You, for all praise is Yours; there is no god but You, the Bestower of favors, Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining." The Prophet ﷺ said: "He has called upon Allah by His Greatest Name—the Name by which, when He is called, He answers, and when He is asked, He gives."

  عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا كَرَبَهُ أَمْرٌ قَالَ " يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ " وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَلِظُّوا بِيَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ "

  Anas ibn Malik reported: Whenever something weighed heavily on the Prophet ﷺ, he would say: "Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi-rahmatika astaghith (O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, by Your mercy I call for help)." And with the same chain: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Hold fast to saying: Ya Dha al-Jalali wa al-Ikram (O Possessor of Majesty and Honor)."

  قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

  Abu 'Isa (at-Tirmidhi) said: This hadith is gharib. It has also been narrated from Anas by another route.

The other verses in this section (9:129, 21:83, 3:185, 28:88, 55:26–27) are Qur'an. Repeating them 33 times is from the tradition.

The story behind it is told by al-Fakihani (d. 734 AH) in al-Fajr al-Munir, from Shaykh Musa al-Darir. He was at sea when a deadly storm struck. In a dream the Prophet taught him this salawat, the passengers recited it, and the storm eased. Scholars point out that a dream cannot establish a hadith or a ruling, but the words themselves are a sound salawat and have been loved for centuries.

Found in Mecmûatü'l-Ahzâb (vol. II, p. 333) and in the Büyük Cevşen compilation. It is not in the main hadith books. The attribution to Hz. Ali that is sometimes given could not be confirmed. The closing phrase "Âhiyyen şerâhiyyen" ("the Living before all things and after all things") resembles a statement of Ibn Mas'ud in Ibn Abi Shayba's Musannaf (no. 30356), not a saying of the Prophet.

A litany of divine names from the tradition. Each name is one of Allah's names, but this arrangement of them is not from a hadith.

"Allahumma inna nuqaddimu ilayka…" (Fajr), "Amanna bi-annahu…" (Maghrib), the line of the Ecirna naming Üstad and Hocaefendi, "Allahumma la tukhrijna mina'd-dunya…" (before the salam) and the du'a between the sunnah and fard of Fajr. No hadith was found for these wordings. They come from the tradition.
