السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
It’s Thursday 8th October 2020.
Remembrance of Almighty Allāh (termed as Zikr, or Dhikr) carries a lot of reward. The Aḥādīth mention a number of special forms of Zikr which carry specific virtues.
Today, I would like to share with you one Ḥadīth on Zikr, very beautifully and eloquently explained by our Ḥaḍrat, Shaykh ul-Ḥadīth Mawlānā Muḥammad Yūsuf Motālā Ṣāḥib, نور الله مرقده.
The Ḥadīth is as follows: Ḥaḍrat Abū Ḥurairā, رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ, narrates that The Holy Prophet, صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, said,
‘Whoever says, سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ (Subḥān Allāhi wa Biḥamdihi), one hundred times a day, all his sins will be forgiven, even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.‘
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ “مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ. فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حُطَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6405)
Now listen to Ḥaḍrat’s beautiful explanation with practical demonstration.
The audio clip is less than 3 minutes.
Almighty Allāh shower Ḥaḍrat’s resting place with His Divine Mercy and bless us all with the ability to do Zikr very regularly, Āmeen.
