Riyad as-Salihin 1418 (Book 15, Hadith 11) #37907
Surpassing Wealth Through Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught the poor Emigrants a way to surpass those who have more wealth than them, which is to recite Tasbih, Takbir and Tahmid after each prayer.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The poor Emigrants came to the Messenger of Allah and said: "The wealthy have gone with the highest ranks and lasting bliss". He asked: "How is that?" They replied: "They offer Salat (prayer) as we offer it; they observe fast as we do; (and as they are wealthy) they perform Hajj and 'Umrah, and go for Jihad, and they spend in charity but we cannot, and they free the slaves but we are unable to do so". The Messenger of Allah said, "Shall I not teach you something with which you may overtake those who surpassed you and with which you will surpass those who will come after you? None will excel you unless he who does which you do". They said: "Yes, please do, O Messenger of Allah" He said, "You should recite: Tasbih (Allah is free from imperfection), Takbir (Allah is Greatest), Tahmid (Praise be to Allah) thirty-three times after each Salat". Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Abu Salih, the subnarrator of the Hadith said, when Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the manner of reciting Tasbih, Tahmid and Takbir, he said, "Recite: "Subhan-Allah, wal-hamdulillah, wallahu Akbar', till all are recited thirty-three times.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن فقراء المهاجرين أتوا رسول الله فقالوا‏:‏ ‏"‏ذهب أهل الدثور بالدرجات العلى، والنعيم المقيم‏:‏ يصلون كما نصلي، ويصومون كما نصوم، ولهم فضل من أموال‏:‏ يحجون، ويعتمرون، ويجاهدون، ويتصدقون‏.‏ فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ألا أعلمكم شيئًا تدركون به من سبقكم، وتسبقون به من بعدكم، ولا يكون أحد أفضل منكم إلا من صنع مثل ما صنعتم‏؟‏ قالوا‏:‏ بلى يا رسول الله، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏تسبحون، وتحمدون، وتكبرون، خلف كل صلاة ثلاثًا وثلاثين قال أبو صالح الراوي عن أبي هريرة، لما سئل عن كيفية ذكرهن، قال‏:‏ يقول‏:‏ سبحان الله، والحمد لله، والله أكبر، حتى يكون منهن كلهن ثلاثًا وثلاثين‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وزاد مسلم في روايته‏:‏ فرجع فقراء المهاجرين إلى رسول الله ، فقالوا‏:‏ سمع إخواننا أهل الأموال بما فعلنا، وفعلوا مثله‏؟‏ فقال رسول الله‏:‏ ‏"‏ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء‏"‏‏.‏ ((الدثور))جمع دثر- بفتح الدال و اسكان الثاء المثلثة- و هو: المال الكثير.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of prayer in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked by the poor Emigrants how they could surpass those with more wealth than them. He taught them that if they recite Tasbih, Takbir and Tahmid after each prayer, then they will overtake those who have surpassed them and also surpass those who come after them. These three words are expressions of praise for Allah - Subhan-Allah meaning 'Glory be to Allah', wal-hamdulillah meaning 'Praise be to Allah' and wallahu Akbar meaning 'Allah is Greatest'. By reciting these words 33 times after each prayer, one can gain rewards from Allah that will help one in this life as well as the hereafter. This hadith teaches us that even if we do not have much material wealth or resources at our disposal, we can still gain rewards from Allah through our prayers and devotion to Him.
