When Umm Hani Requested The Prophet To...

[Abu Hafsat]

As-Salaam alaikum,

  Sayyada Umm Hani, may Allah be pleased with her, said:--

   "The Messenger of Allah passed by me one day and I said, "Ya Rasulullah, I am old

    and weak, so command me something I can do sitting."  He said, "Say:--

   SUBHANALLAH [Glory be to Allah] 100 times: It is equal to 100 slaves of the

  descendants of Isma'il you set free. 

 Say: 'ALHAMDU LILLAH  [Praise be to Allah] 100 times: It is equal to 100 horses

saddled and bridled and ridden in the Way of Allah.

Say: ALLAHU AKBAR [Allah is the Greatest] 100 times: It is equal to 100 camels

garlanded and facing qibla.

Say: LA-ILAHA ILLALLAHU [There is no god but Allah] 100 times (I think he said)

it fills up what is between heaven and earth. On that day, no one will have a better

action presented than that which will be presented for you, unless be brings the

like of what you bring."   (Ahmad, at-Tabarani, al-Bayhaqi).
