سنن نسائی · Hadith 1353

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘There are two qualities which no Muslim person attains but he will enter Paradise, and they are easy, but those who do them are few.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The five daily prayers: After each prayer one of you glorifies Allah ten times and praises Him ten times and magnifies Him ten times, which makes one hundred and fifty on the tongue and one thousand and five hundred in the balance.’ And I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم counting them on his hand. ‘And when one of you retires to his bed he says the TasbI thirty- three times and the Tahmid thirty-three times and the Takbir thirty-four times, that is one hundred on the tongue and one thousand in the Balance.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Which of you can do two thousand and five hundred good deeds in a day and a night?” It was said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, how can a person not persist in doing that?” He said: “The Shaitan comes to one of you when he is praying and says, ‘Remember such and such, remember such and such,’ or he comes to him when he is in his bed and makes him fall asleep.” (Hasan)
