عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَحَمِدَ اللهَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَكَبَّرَ اللهَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ، فَتْلِكَ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ، وَقَالَ: تَمَامَ الْمِائَةِ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Allah amridhie- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake-: "Atakaye msabihi Mwenyezi Mungu mwisho wa kila swala mara thelathini na tatu (33), na akamhimidi Mwenyezi Mungu mara thelathini na tatu (33), na akamtukuza Mwenyezi Mungu mara thelathini na tatu, hizo ni tisini na tisa (99) Na akasema ili kukamilisha mia moja (100): Laa ilaaha illa llaahu wahdahu laa shariika lahu, lahul Mulku walahul hamdu, wahuwaa'laa kulli shai in qadiir, basi yatasamehewa madhambi yake, hata kama yalikuwa na wingi mfano wa povu la Bahari".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever glorifies Allah directly after each prayer thirty-three times, praises Allah thirty-three times, and proclaims the greatness of Allah thirty-three times, these are ninety-nine, and completes one hundred by saying: La ilāha illallāh wahdahu la sharīka lah, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is no god except Allah. He is One and has no partner with Him. To Him belongs sovereignty and to Him belongs praise, and He is Omnipotent over everything), his sins will be forgiven even if they are like the sea foam."
Sunna ya dhikiri hizi kuzisema baada ya swala za faradhi.
Dhikiri hizi ni sababu ya kusamehewa madhambi.
Ukubwa wa fadhila za Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu na rehema zake na msamaha wake.
Dhikiri hii ni sababu ya kusamehewa madhambi, na kinachokusudiwa hapa ni: kufutiwa madhambi madogo, ama madhambi makubwa hakuna kinachoweza kuyafuta isipokuwa toba.
