Hadith #523

Arabic Text

English Translation

Al-Hakam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that I heard ibn Abu laila : `Ali told us that Fatimah (رضي الله عنها) complained about the marks of the millstone on her hand. Some captives were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, so she went but did not find him. She met `A`ishah (رضي الله عنها) and told her (why she had come). When the Prophet ﷺ came, `A`ishah (رضي الله عنها) told him that Fatimah had come to her. the Prophet ﷺ came when we had gone to bed. We went to get up, but the Prophet ﷺ said: “Stay where you are.” He sat between us and I felt the coolness of his feet on my chest. He said: `Shall I not tell you of something that is better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed, magnify Allah thirty four times, glorify Him thirty three times and praise Him thirty three times. This is better for you than a servant.`
