The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two practices that whoever maintains them, they will admit him to Paradise. They are easy, yet few are those who act upon them."They asked, "What are they, Messenger of Allah?"He said, "That you praise Allah, magnify Him, and glorify Him ten times after each obligatory prayer, and when you come to your bed, you glorify Allah, magnify Him, and praise Him a hundred times. That makes two hundred and fifty on the tongue and two thousand five hundred on the scale. Which of you commits two thousand five hundred sins in a day and a night?"They asked, "How is it that few people act upon them?"He said, "Satan comes to one of you during his prayer and reminds him of such-and-such a need, so he does not say them, and he comes to him at the time of sleep and puts him to sleep, so he does not say them."He said, And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ counting them on his hand.
حدثنا جرير عن عطاء بن السائب عن أبيه
قال رسول الله ﷺ خلتان من حافظ عليهما أدخلتاه الجنة وهما يسير ومن يعمل بهما قليل قالوا وما هما يا رسول الله قال أن تحمد الله وتكبره وتسبحه في دبر كل صلاة مكتوبة عشرا عشرا وإذا أتيت إلى مضجعك تسبح الله وتكبره وتحمده مائة مرة فتلك خمسون ومائتان باللسان وألفان وخمس مائة في الميزان فأيكم يعمل في اليوم والليلة ألفين وخمس مائة سيئة قالوا كيف من يعمل بها قليل قال يجيء أحدكم الشيطان في صلاته فيذكره حاجة كذا وكذا فلا يقولها ويأتيه عند منامه فينومه فلا يقولها قال ورأيت رسول الله ﷺ يعقدهن بيده
Its isnad is hasan, because Jareer bin Abdul-Hameed Dabbi narrated from Ata after his mental confusion set in, but the hadith itself is sahih, because others narrated it from Ata among those who heard from him before his change. Ahmad narrated it, as will follow at 6910, via Shuba from Ata. Then Abdullah bin Ahmad said following it, "I heard Ubaydullah Qawariri say, I heard Hammad bin Zayd say, Ata bin Saaib came to us in Basra, and Ayub said to us, 'Go to him and ask him about the hadith of tasbih,'" meaning this hadith.Shuba heard from Ata early on, and his hadith from him is a sahih hadith. The narration of Abdullah bin Ahmad indicates that Hammad bin Zayd also heard from him, and it may even indicate that Ayub heard it from him as well, and that Ata did not become confused regarding this hadith, even in the narration of those who heard from him after his change, for change does not necessitate that he err in everything he narrates, as is self-evident.Bukhari also narrated it in Adab al-Mufrad (p. 179) via Sufyan, Abu Dawud (5065, 4:475 of Awn al-Mabud) via Shuba, Tirmidhi 4:233 via Ismail bin Ulaya, Nasai 1:198 via Hammad bin Zayd, and Ibn Majah 1:154 via Ibn Ulaya, Muhammad bin Fudayl, Abu Yahya Taymi, and Ibn Ajlah, and Ibn Sunni in Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla number 737 via Hammad bin Salama, all of them from Ata bin Saaib, with this isnad. It suffices, among these, for the soundness of the hadith that Shuba, Thawri, Hammad bin Zayd, and Hammad bin Salama heard from Ata early on.Note. In Ibn Majah it appears as "wa Abu Ajlah," which is a printing error, the correct form being "wa Ibn Ajlah," who is Abdullah bin Ajlah Kindi Kufi.Hakim narrated in Mustadrak 1:547 a portion of it, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ counting the tasbih on his fingers," via Shuba and via Amash, both from Ata, with his isnad, and Dhahabi graded it sahih. Tirmidhi also narrated this portion at 4:233, 255 via Amash, and said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith by this route, from the hadith of Amash from Ata bin Saaib, and Shuba and Thawri narrated this hadith from Ata bin Saaib in full."The encouragement to remembrance with these words has already been mentioned, from the hadith of Ali, several times, at length and in brief, including at 838 and 1249.
