Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #40593

On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, that the poor immigrants came to the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and said: “The people of poverty have attained the highest ranks and lasting bliss: they pray as we pray, and fast as we fast, and they have surplus wealth: they perform Hajj, Umrah, strive, and give in charity.” So he said: “Shall I not teach you something by which you will catch up with those who came before you, and with it you will precede those who came before them?” After you, no one will be better than you except the one who did something similar Did you do that? They said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: “You glorify God, praise God, and glorify God. Behind every prayer are thirty-three. Abu Salih, the narrator, said on the authority of Abu Hurairah, when he was asked how to mention them. He said: He says: Glory be to God, praise be to God, and God is great, until there are thirty-three of them in total. ((Agreed upon)). Muslim added in his narration: Then the poor immigrants returned to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace And they said: Our brothers who have wealth heard about what we did, and they did the same? Then the Messenger of God said: “That is the grace of God. He gives it to whomever He wills.” ((Al-Dathur)) is the plural of “Dathar” - with the opening of the dal and the double suffix of the tha’ - and it means: a lot of money.
