| As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Better than servantsNarrated by 'Ali (Radhi Allahu Anhu): “Fatima complained of the suffering caused to her by the hand mill. Some Captives were brought to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam), she came to him but did not find him at home ''Aishah was present there to whom she told (of her desire for a servant). When the Prophet came, ''Aishah informed him about Fatima's visit. Ali added "So the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) came to us, while we had gone to our bed I wanted to get up but the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "Remain at your place". Then he sat down between us till I found the coolness of his feet on my chest. Then he said, "Shall I teach you a thing which is better than what you have asked me? When you go to bed, say, 'Allahu-Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) thirty-four times, and 'Subhanallah (Glorified be Allah) thirty-three times, and 'Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) thirty-three times for that is better for you both than a servant." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) | |
