حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ اشْتَكَتْ إِلَيَّ فَاطِمَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا مَجْلَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ الطَّحْنِ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَاطِمَةُ تَشْتَكِي إِلَيْكَ مَجْلَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ الطَّحْنِ وَتَسْأَلُكَ خَادِمًا فَقَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمَا عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ فَأَمَرَنَا عِنْدَ مَنَامِنَا بِثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَأَرْبَعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ تَسْبِيحٍ وَتَحْمِيدٍ وَتَكْبِيرٍ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) said. Hadrat Fatimah (may Allah be well pleased with her) complained about the marks left on her hands from grinding flour. We came to the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and I said: O Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), Hadrat Fatimah is complaining to you about the marks left on her hands from grinding flour and she is asking you for a servant. He said: “Shall I not tell you about something that is better for you than a servant?” and he told us, when going to sleep, to say thirty-three and thirty-three and thirty-four of tasbeeh, tahmeed and takbeer.
