Tasbih
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي.
Glory be to Allah; all praise belongs to Allah; there is no deity except Allah; Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, forgive me. O Allah, have mercy on me. O Allah, provide for me.
خَيْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ
The good of this world and the Hereafter.

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي خَيْرًا ، فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ " ، قَالَ : فَعَقَدَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَمَضَى فَتَفَكَّرَ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَتَبَسَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : تَفَكَّرَ الْبَائِسُ فَجَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا لِلَّهِ فَمَا لِي ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ ، " إِذَا قُلْتَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : صَدَقْتَ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : صَدَقْتَ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : صَدَقْتَ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : صَدَقْتَ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : فَعَلْتُ ، وَإِذَا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي ، قَالَ اللَّهُ : قَدْ فَعَلْتُ " ، قَالَ : فَعَقَدَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ عَلَى سَبْعٍ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ وَلَّى .
A Bedouin came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: ‘Messenger of Allah, teach me something good.’ The Prophet took his hand and said: ‘Say: Glory be to Allah; all praise belongs to Allah; there is no deity except Allah; and Allah is the Greatest.’ The Bedouin counted them on his hand and left. He reflected, then returned. The Prophet smiled and said: ‘The poor man reflected and came back.’ He said: ‘Messenger of Allah, “Glory be to Allah; all praise belongs to Allah; there is no deity except Allah; and Allah is the Greatest”—these are for Allah. What is for me?’ The Prophet said: ‘Bedouin, when you say “Glory be to Allah,” Allah says: “You have spoken the truth.” When you say “All praise belongs to Allah,” He says: “You have spoken the truth.” When you say “There is no deity except Allah,” He says: “You have spoken the truth.” When you say “Allah is the Greatest,” He says: “You have spoken the truth.” When you say “O Allah, forgive me,” He says: “I have done so.” When you say “O Allah, have mercy on me,” He says: “I have done so.” When you say “O Allah, provide for me,” He says: “I have done so.”’ The Bedouin counted seven on his hand and left.
