Obedient hearts..
As pious people learned about the reward of good deeds and that glorification of Allah is the dearest speech to Him, they vied with one an other in glorifying their Lord in all their situations. Indeed, that is the easy booty. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Two words are light for the tongue to utter, heavy in the scales, and are dear to the Most Compassionate : Subhānallāh wabihamdih, subhānallāh Al-‘Azhīm (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, Glory be to Allah, the Magnificent).”
[Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is also authentically reported to have said:
“Whoever says: ‘Subhānallāh wa bihamdih (Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him)’ one hundred times a day, his sins will be erased even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.”
[Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
He (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Is anyone of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds during aday?”
One of those present asked: “How can one of us earn a thousand good deeds?
”He said: “He glorifies Allah a hundred times, and thus a thousand good deeds will be recorded for him, or a thousand sins will be erased from him.”
[Narrated by Muslim]
