عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنْها أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ مَا تَلْقَى فِي يَدِهَا مِنَ الرَّحَى، وَبَلَغَهَا أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ رَقِيقٌ، فَلَمْ تُصَادِفْهُ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَنَا وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا، فَذَهَبْنَا نَقُومُ، فَقَالَ: «عَلَى مَكَانِكُمَا» فَجَاءَ فَقَعَدَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا، حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى بَطْنِي، فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَا؟ إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا -أَوْ أَوَيْتُمَا إِلَى فِرَاشِكُمَا- فَسَبِّحَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَاحْمَدَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَكَبِّرَا أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Ally -radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake-: ِAlikuja Fatma radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akimlalamikia juu ya jiwe la kusagia lililokuwa likichubua mikono yake, na zilimfikia taarifa kuwa Mtume amejiwa na mjakazi, lakini alikuwa hajakutana naye, akalieleza hilo kwa Aisha, alipokuja Aisha akamwambia, anasema Fatma: Akaja kwetu hali yakuwa tumekwisha panda kitandani, basi tukaamka tukasimama, akasema: "Haina haja ya kusimama kaeni tu mahala penu" Akaja akakaa kati yangu na Fatma, mpaka nikahisi ubaridi wa miguu yake tumboni kwangu, Mtume akasema: «Je, nisikujulisheni kitu bora zaidi kuliko hicho mlichoomba? Mtakapokwenda kulala basi msabihini Mwenyezi Mungu; yaani (Sub-haanallaah) mara thelathini na tatu, na mhimidini (Al-hamdulillaah) mara thelathini na tatu, na mtukuzeni (Allahu Akbar) mara thelathini na nne, kufanya hivyo ni bora zaidi kwenu kuliko mfanyakazi.”
‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Fātimah (may Allah be pleased with her) went to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to complain about the effect of the grinding-stone on her hand, as she heard that he had acquired some slaves. She did not find him. So, she mentioned the matter to ‘Ā’ishah. When he came, ‘Ā’ishah informed him. He related: So, he visited us when we had gone to bed, and as we were about to get up, he said: "Stay where you are." He came and sat down between her and me, and I felt the coldness of his feet on my belly. He said: "Let me guide you to something better than what you asked for. When you go to bed, say ‘Subhān Allah' (glory be to Allah) thirty-three times, ‘Alhamdulillāh' (praise be to Allah) thirty-three times, and ‘Allāhu Akbar' (Allah is the Most Great) thirty-four times. This is better for you than a servant."
Inapendeza kudumu na dhikiri hi iliyobarikiwa, kama ilivyoripotiwa kuwa Ally radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake hakuiacha amri hii ya Mtume iliyokusanya mambo mengi, mpaka katika usiku wa mapigano ya Swuffin.
Dhikiri hii haisemwi tu wakati wa kulala usiku, na maneno yake kwa mujibu wa Muslim yanatokana na riwaya ya Muadhi kutoka kwa Shu’ba: “Mkichukua vitanda vyenu wakati wa usiku.”
Muislamu akiisahau dhikri hii mwanzoni mwa usiku kisha akaikumbuka mwishoni mwa usiku, hakuna ubaya kuisema; Kwa sababu Ally Mwenyezi Mungu amuwie radhi, msimuliaji wa hadithi, anasema kwamba alisahau kuyasema katika usiku wa mapigano ya Swaffin mwanzoni mwa usiku, kisha akakumbuka na kuyasema kabla ya Alfajiri.
Amesema Al-Muhallab: Ndani ya Hadithi hii kunaonyesha kuwa mtu ailazimishe familia yake kufanya anayojilazimisha yeye, kama kutanguliza maisha ya Akhera kuliko Dunia hii ikiwa wana uwezo wa kufanya hivyo.
Amesema bin Hajar Al-Asqalani: Atakayedumu na dhikiri hii hatadhurika na wingi wa kazi, wala haitakuwa vigumu kwake hata akichoka.
Amesema Al-Aini: Suala la kuwa bora ni ima maana yake ni kuwa inahusiana na Akhera na mfanyakazi duniani, na Akhera ni bora zaidi na yenye kudumu, au ina maana kwamba kuhusiana na kile alichoomba atapata nguvu kwa sababu ya dhikiri hii ambayo itamuwezesha kufanya kazi zaidi kuliko uwezo wa mfanyakazi.
