Arabic text
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «مَنْ قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، حُطَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ».
Translation
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says ‘subhān Allah 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."
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that whoever says "subhān Allah wa bihamdih (glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him)" one hundred times a day, his sins will be erased and forgiven, even if they were as much as the white foam that appears above the water of the sea when it is wavy and stormy.
Benefits
- This reward is attained by one who says it during a day in a successive or sporadic manner.
- Tasbīh (glorification) is to exalt Allah above any imperfection, and hamd (praise) is to attribute perfection to Him while loving and extolling Him.
- What is intended in the Hadīth is the expiation of minor sins. As for the major sins, repentance is a must.
Explanation: العربية
يُخبِرُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّ مَن قال في يوم مائة مرة: «سبحان الله وبحمده»؛ مُحيتْ خطاياه وغُفِرت، ولو كانت كثيرة مثل الرَّغْوَة البيضاء التي تعلو البحر عند تَمَوُّجِه وهَيَجَانِه.
- هذا الأجر يحصل لمن قالها في اليوم مُتَوالِيَة أو مُتَفَرِّقة.
- التسبيح: هو تنزيه الله عن النقص، والحمد: وصفه بالكمال مع المحبة والتعظيم.
- المراد في الحديث تَكْفير صغائر الذنوب، وأمَّا الكبائر فلا بدَّ لها من توبة.
