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 with this chain of narration from Ahmad, from his father, and Muhammad ibn 'Isa, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah (AS), who said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (sw) said to his companions one day, 'Do you think that if you were to gather what you have of clothing and utensils, then placed them atop one another, would you perceive them reaching the sky?' They replied, 'No, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Shall I not inform you of something whose root is in the earth and its branches in the sky?' They said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'One of you, upon completing the obligatory prayer, should say: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater than what can be described); thirty times. For indeed, their root is in the earth and their branches are in the sky. They prevent destruction, fire, drowning, falling in a well, consumption by wild beasts, death due to accidents, and the affliction that descends from the sky upon the servant on that day. They are the enduring good deeds.'"

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِیمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَهَ آلَافِ حَسَنَهٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ ثَلَاثَهَ آلَافِ سَیِّئَهٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَهَ آلَافِ دَرَجَهٍ وَ یَخْلُقُ مِنْهَا طَائِراً فِی الْجَنَّهِ یُسَبِّحُ وَ کَانَ أَجْرُ تَسْبِیحِهِ لَهُ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad who said it was narrated to us by Abi from Muhammad b. Abi ’Umayr from Abdillah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites: Sub- h’aanallahi wa bih’amdihi sub-h’aanallaahil a’z’eemi wa bih’amdih, the Almighty Allah will grant him three thousand rewards, increase three thousand grades and create a bird for him, which will glorify God and its reward will be given to that person.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِنْ غَیْرِ تَعَجُّبٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا طَائِراً لَهُ لِسَانَانِ وَ حَاجِبَانِ یُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ عَنْهُ فِی الْمُسَبِّحِینَ حَتَّی تَقُومَ السَّاعَهُ وَ مِثْلُ ذَلِکَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from his father and al-Hassan b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Sinan from Abi al-Jarud from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “For one who recites Sub-h’aanallaah without surprise Allah will create a bird from it, having a tongue and two wings. It will glorify Allah for that person till the Day of Judgment. The recitation of statement Al-h’amdulillaahi wa laa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar also holds the same reward.”

Ya’qub who said: Yunus bin Yaqoob says that he asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “[O son of Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.)] One who recites Sub-h’aanallaah a hundred times, will he be counted among the ones who remember Allah a lot?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ زَیْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ کَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ شَغَلَ اللَّهُ کُتَّابَ السَّمَاءِ قِیلَ وَ کَیْفَ یَشْغَلُ کُتَّابَ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ یَقُولُونَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا لَا نَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ فَقَالَ فَیَقُولُ اکْتُبُوهَا کَمَا قَالَهَا عَبْدِی وَ عَلَیَّ ثَوَابُهَا.

1. Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil narrated to me that Ali b. al-Husayn al-Sa'dabadi narrated to him, from Ahmad b. Abi Abdullah, from Ali b. al-Hakam, from Saif b. Amirah, from Zaid al-Shahham that Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) said: "Whoever says 'Praise be to Allah as He deserves', Allah will keep the scribes of heaven busy." It was asked, "How do the scribes of the heavens remain busy?". He said, "They say, 'O Allah! We do not know the unseen.' So Allah says, 'Write it as my servant said it, and for him is its reward.'"

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ سَعِیدِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو مَشْعَرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِینَ فَقَدْ أَدَّی شُکْرَ یَوْمِهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَهَا إِذَا أَمْسَی فَقَدْ أَدَّی شُکْرَ لَیْلَتِهِ.

Janah who said it was narrated to me by Abu Mash’ar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Alhamdulillaahi rabbil a’alameen four times every morning has without any doubt thanked for this day and one who says it in the night has thanked for that night.

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ بْنِ أَیُّوبَ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع أَیُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَی اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنْ تُمَجِّدَ اللَّهَ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Ahmad b. Muhammad from his father from Fadhalah b. Ayoob’ from Sayf b. ’Umayra from Muhammad b. Marwan from Zurarah who said: Zurarah narrates that he asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), “What deed Allah likes best?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “His glorification.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that the Almighty Allah glorifies Himself thrice every day and night. One who glorifies Him like this will have good fortune if he had a bad one. Zurarah asked, “How to glorify Him?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Say: antallaahu laa ilaaha illar rabbul a’alameena antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antar rah’maanar rah’eema antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta a’liyyil kabeeri antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta maaliki yaumiddeeni antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antal ghafoorur rah’eemi antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antal a’zeezul h’akeemi antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta minka bad-u kulli shai-inw wa ilaika ya-oo’da antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta lam tazal wa laa tazaalu antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta khaaliqul khairi wash sharru antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa anta khaaliqul jannati wannaari antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antal ah’adus’ s’amadu lam yalid wa lam yoolad wa lam yakullahu kufuwan ah’adu antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antal malikul quddoosus salaamul mu-minul muhaiminul a’zeezul jabbaarul mutakabbiru sub- h’aanallaahi a’mmaa yushrikoona antallaahul khaaliqul baari-ul mus’awwiru lakal asmaa-ul h’usnaa yusabbih’u laka maa fis samaawaati wal arz”i wa antal a’zeezul h’akeemi antallaahu laa ilaaha illaa antal kabeeru wal kibri-yaa-u ridaa-uk.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “God-willing, a wise person will end up in Paradise.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ کَانَ عَاقِلًا کَانَ لَهُ دِینٌ وَ مَنْ کَانَ لَهُ دِینٌ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّهَ.

2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “A wise person is religious and a religious person will enter Paradise.”
