وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ جُمَیْعٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی النَّبِیِّ ص قَالَ

25-6 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Sayf, (on the authority of Sayf,) on the authority of Salam ibn Qanim that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “
God will construct a house in Paradise for whoever repeats ‘There is no god but God’ one-hundred times when he lays down in his bed. The sins of whoever asks for God’s forgiveness one-hundred times when he lays down in his bed would fall off from him as the leaves fall off from a tree.”
25-6 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبداله، عن أحمد بن محمد ابن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سيف [عن سيف] عن سلام بن غانم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
من قال حين يأوي إلى فراشه "لا إله إلا الله" مائة مرة بنى الله بيتا له في الجنة، ومن استغفر الله حين يأوي إلى فراشه مائة مرة تحاتت ذنوبه كما يسقط ورق الشجرة

My father (ra) narrated to me. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to me from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. `Isa from al-Husayn b. Sayf from Salam b. Ghanim from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as). He said
Whoever says “there is no god but Allah (la ilaha illallah)” one hundred times when he goes to his bed, Allah builds a house for him in Paradise. Whoever repents (istighfar) one hundred times when he goes to his bed, his sins will erode just as the leaves of a tree fall.

hadith 7
6. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said: There is nothing which is not equal in weight to something else. Except for Allah, as nothing is equal to Him and nothing is equal to ‘There is no god except Allah’ also. And there is no measure for tears that flow in fear of Allah. Even if a single tear flows on the face of a person, he or she would never be helpless and humiliated.
