Juwairiya reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came out from (her apartment) in the morning as she was busy in observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there. He (the Prophet) said to her: You have been in the same seat since I left you. She said: Yes. Thereupon Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them and (these words) are:" Hallowed be Allaah and praise is due to Him according to the number of His creation and according to the pleasure of His Self and according to the weight of His Throne and according to the ink (used in recording) words (for His Praise)."

It is reported on the authority of Ali that Fatima had corns in her hand because of working at the hand-mill. There had fallen to the lot of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) some prisoners of war. She (Fatima) came to the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) but she did not find him (in the house). She met A'isha and informed her (about her hardship). When Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came, she ( A'isha) informed him about the visit of Fatima. ABah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) came to them (Fitima and her family). They had gone to their beds. 'Ali further (reported): We tried to stand up (as a mark of respect) but Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Keep to your beds, and he sat amongst us and I felt coldness of his feet upon my chest. He then said: May I not direct you to something better than what you have asked for? When you go to your bed, you should recite Takbir (Allaah-o-Akbar) thirty-four times and Tasbih (Subhdn Allaah) thirty-three times and Tahmid (al-Hamdu li-Allaah) thirty-three times, and that is better than the servant for you.
