Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكْسِبَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ قَالَ فَسَأَلَهُ سَائِلٌ مِنْ جُلَسَائِهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَكْسِبُ أَحَدُنَا أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ قَالَ يُسَبِّحُ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ أَوْ يُحَطُّ عَنْهُ أَلْفُ خَطِيئَةٍ.
English Translation
Sa'd said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and he said: 'Is any one of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds each day?' A man among those sitting with him asked: 'O Prophet of Allah, how can one of us earn a thousand good deeds?' He said: 'Say SubhanAllah a hundred times, and a thousand good deeds will be recorded for you, or a thousand sins will be erased from you.'
