Hadith 35

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – from Muhammad Bin Musa Bin Al Mutawakkil, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from the one who narrated it, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to his-saww companions one day: ‘What are your views, if you were to collect whatever is in your possessions, from the utensils and the belongings, do you view that it would reach the sky? ’
They said, ‘No, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww point you all to something, it’s roots are in the earth and it’s branches are in the sky? ’
They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-asws said: ‘Every one of you should say when he is free from the obligatory Salat, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest’ – thirty times, for it’s roots are in the earth and its branches are in the sky, and these repel the burning, and the drowning, and the demolishing, and the falling into the well, and the evil death, and these are the lasting righteous deeds’’. [48]
