 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِی دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَهَ بْنِ مَیْمُونٍ عَنْ یُونُسَ بْنِ یَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَی أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ اتَّخِذُوا جُنَناً فَقَالُوا یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ قَدْ أَظَلَّنَا فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَکِنْ مِنَ النَّارِ قُولُوا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hussain who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hussain b. Ali b. Fadhal from Abi Dawud al-Mustariq from Tha’laba b. Maymun from Yunis b. Ya’qub from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Pick it up for combating the Hell and recite Sub-h’aanallaahi wal h’amdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar.”

 أَبِی رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ یُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَکْثِرُوا مِنْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ فَإِنَّهُنَّ یَأْتِینَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ لَهُنَّ مُقَدِّمَاتٌ وَ مُؤَخِّرَاتٌ وَ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ وَ هُنَ الْباقِیاتُ الصَّالِحاتُ

2.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said, “Recite Sub-h’aanallaahi wal h’amdu lillaahi wa  laa  ilaaha  illallaahu  wallaahu  akbar  often because this statement will come to you surrounded by angels and will be included among your good deeds.”

 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ غَرَسَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا شَجَرَهً فِی الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ غَرَسَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا شَجَرَهً فِی الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ غَرَسَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا شَجَرَهً فِی الْجَنَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ غَرَسَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا شَجَرَهً فِی الْجَنَّهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَیْشٍ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَجَرَنَا فِی الْجَنَّهِ لَکَثِیرٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَکِنْ إِیَّاکُمْ أَنْ تُرْسِلُوا عَلَیْهَا نِیرَاناً فَتُحْرِقُوهَا وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ- یا أَیُّهَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا أَطِیعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِیعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ لا تُبْطِلُوا أَعْمالَکُمْ.

3.  Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “One who says Sub- h’aanallah Allah will plant a tree for him in Paradise. One who says Al-h’amdulillaah  then too a tree will be planted for  him  in  Paradise.  Similarly,  One  who  says  Laa  ilaaha illallaah then also Allah will plant a tree for him in Paradise. Allah  will  also  plant  a  tree  for  one  who  recites  Allaahu Akbar.  A man of Quraish said: O the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.), then there would be many trees in Paradise for us? Yes,  but  be  careful  that  you  do  not  send  fire  or  they  all would get burnt up. That is why the Almighty Allah said: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle, and do not make your deeds of no effect.1

 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ یَوْمٍ أَ رَأَیْتُمْ لَوْ جَمَعْتُمْ مَا عِنْدَکُمْ مِنَ الثِّیَابِ وَ الْآنِیَهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُمْ بَعْضَهُ عَلَی بَعْضٍ أَ کُنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَهُ تَبْلُغُ السَّمَاءَ قَالُوا لَا یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ لَا أَدُلُّکُمْ عَلَی شَیْ ءٍ أَصْلُهُ فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ فَرْعُهُ فِی السَّمَاءِ قَالُوا بَلَی یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ یَقُولُ أَحَدُکُمْ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاهِ الْفَرِیضَهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ ثَلَاثِینَ مَرَّهً فَإِنَّ أَصْلَهُنَّ فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ فَرْعَهُنَّ فِی السَّمَاءِ وَ هُنَّ یَدْفَعْنَ الْهَدْمَ وَ الْحَرَقَ وَ الْغَرَقَ وَ التَّرَدِّیَ فِی الْبِئْرِ وَ أَکْلَ السَّبُعِ وَ مِیتَهَ السَّوْءِ وَ الْبَلِیَّهَ الَّتِی تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَی الْعَبْدِ فِی ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمِ وَ هُنَ الْباقِیاتُ الصَّالِحاتُ.

4. And from the previous chain from Ahmad from his father and Muhammad b. Isa from Safwan b. Yahya from Abi Ayoob’ al-Khazaz from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites Sub- h’aanallaahi wal h’amdu lillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar (the roots of this statement are in the earth and its branches are above the sky) thirty times after each obligatory prayers the above statement will safeguard him from being crushed under a wall, drowning, falling in well, falling prey to wild animals, death due to accidents and 1 Surah Muhammad 47:33 from dangerous things falling from skies. This statement will remain as permanent good deeds for him.”
