Upon hearing this the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said,
„Shall I inform you of something whereby you will surpass those who
are ahead of you and will keep you ahead of those who are behind
you and no one will surpass you unless he does what you do?‟ They
replied, „Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon
him,‟ He said, „Glorify (Subhan-Allah) and praise (Al Hamdu llilah)
and exalt (Allahu Akbar) Allah thirty-three times after each prayer.‟
Not long after they returned to the Messenger of Allah, praise and
peace be upon him, and told him, „Our wealthy brethren have heard
what we are doing and are now doing the same.‟ „That is the Favor
of Allah, He gives it to whosoever He wills‟ replied the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him.”
