Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ جُرَيٍّ النَّهْدِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقِيتُ شَيْخًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ بِالْكُنَاسَةِ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَدَّ خَمْسًا فِي يَدِهِ أَوْ فِي يَدِي فَقَالَ التَّسْبِيحُ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَؤُهُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ وَالطُّهُورُ نِصْفُ الْإِيمَانِ.
English Translation
Abu Qatan told us: Yunus told us, from Jurayy an-Nahdi, who said: I met an elder of Banu Sulaym at al-Kunasa, and he told me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, counted five on his hand, or on my hand, and said: Glorification (tasbih) is half of the scale; praise (hamd) fills it; magnification (takbir) fills what is between heaven and earth; fasting is half of patience; and purification is half of faith.
