Hadith 1770
۞
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim and abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz all from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“Once the poor people came to the Messenger of Allah and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy people have the means to set free slaves, we do not have it, they can go for Hajj, but we cannot, they can provide charity, but we cannot and they can join the defense army for Jihad, but we cannot do so.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Whoever says al-Takbir of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy. “ Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater than can be described),” one hundred times it will be better than setting free one hundred slaves.’ “Whoever says al-Tasbih of Allah, ‘Subhana Allah (all glory belongs to Allah),’ one hundred times it is better than deriving one hundred camels as a sacrificial offering. “Whoever says, ‘All praise belongs to Allah’ one hundred times, it is better than offering one hundred horses, harnessed and readied with a soldier riding to move for the cause of Allah. “Whoever says, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah,’ one hundred times will be the best among people in worshipping that day except for one who does more. “The Imam then said, ‘This reached the wealthy people and they followed the instruction. The poor people came to the Holy Prophet and said, “O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy people heard it and they did it.” The Messenger of Allah said, ‘That is an addition from Allah that He grants to whoever He wills.’”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
جَاءَ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ الأغْنِيَاءَ لَهُمْ مَا يُعْتِقُونَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا وَلَهُمْ مَا يَحُجُّونَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا وَلَهُمْ مَا يَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا وَلَهُمْ مَا يُجَاهِدُونَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مَنْ كَبَّرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عِتْقِ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ وَمَنْ سَبَّحَ الله مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ سِيَاقِ مِائَةِ بَدَنَةٍ وَمَنْ حَمِدَ الله مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ حُمْلانِ مِائَةِ فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ الله بِسُرُجِهَا وَلُجُمِهَا وَرُكُبِهَا وَمَنْ قَالَ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ عَمَلاً ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلا مَنْ زَادَ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الأغْنِيَاءَ فَصَنَعُوهُ قَالَ فَعَادَ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ الله قَدْ بَلَغَ الأغْنِيَاءَ مَا قُلْتَ فَصَنَعُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ الله يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ.
