The Worth of Tasbeeh-e-Faatimi

It comes in Abu Dawood Shareef that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) told Hazrat Sayyidah Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha): “O Faatimah! Fear Allah, fulfil your duty to Him, do the work of your husband, and recite when sleeping 33 times Subhaanallah, 33 times Alhamdulillah and 34 times Allahu Akbar. These add up to 100 and are better for you than a maid servant.”

To this, Hazrat Sayyidah Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) said: “I am happy with (the Decree of) Allah and (the recommendation of) His Rasool.”

Perhaps the mention of fearing Allah on this occasion was on account of viewing a servant to be against her lofty rank. And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

I have heard from some Buzrugs that together with reaping the rewards and stages of the Aakhirat, reciting this Tasbeeh is proven to relieve the strain, difficulty and fatigue of the day’s work.

(A Buzrug who walked a thousand miles for the sake of propagating the Deen, mentioned to this writer: “The worth of these Tasbeehaat dawned upon me during this travel. In spite of old age, the journey was covered easily. When I would recite these Tasbeehaat at night, the day’s fatigue would vanish.)
