English Translation

Usamah ibn Zayd narrated: I knocked on the door of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and he came out dragging his garment. I said: What is this? He said: 'By Allah, if you knew what was with me!' I said: What is with you? He said: 'Fatimah complained to me about her hand from the hand-mill, and there came to me some captives, so go to her.' So I went to her, and Abu Bakr and Umar were with her, and he said: 'Shall I not tell you something better than what you asked for? When you retire to your bed, say: Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times. That is better for you than a servant.'
