حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالدُّثُورِ بِالْأَجْرِ يَقُولُونَ کَمَا نَقُولُ وَيُنْفِقُونَ وَلَا نُنْفِقُ قَالَ لِي أَلَا أُخْبِرُکُمْ بِأَمْرٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ أَدْرَکْتُمْ مَنْ قَبْلَکُمْ وَفُتُّمْ مَنْ بَعْدَکُمْ تَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ کُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُسَبِّحُونَ وَتُکَبِّرُونَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَأَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّتُهُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 927
It was narrated that Abu Dharr said: It was said to the Prophet P.B.U.H and perhaps (one of the narrators) Sufyan said: I said: o Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H Those who have property and wealth have surpassed us in reward. They say the same as we do, and they spend but we do not spend.' He said to me: 'Shall I not tell you something which, if you do it, you will catch up with those who have surpassed you and you will excel over those who come after you? Praise Allah (by saying AIHamdu Lillah) after every prayer, and glorify Him (by saying Subhan-Allah) and extol Him (by saying Allahu Akbar), thirty-three, and thirty-three, and thirty-four times.''' Sufyan said: "I do not know which of them was to be recited thirty-four times." (Sahih)
