Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who
utters a hundred times in a day these words: `La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-
hamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli sha'in Qadir (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with
Him; His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equivalent to that
for emancipating ten slaves, a hundred good deeds will be recorded to his credit, hundred of his sins will be blotted
out from his scroll, and he will be safeguarded against the devil on that day till the evening; and no one will exceed
him in doing more excellent good deeds except someone who has recited these words more often than him. And he
who utters: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)' one hundred times
a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Here sins mean minor sins and those which do not relate to the rights of people. This point has
already been elaborated in the preceding Ahadith.

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said: "
He who utters
ten times: `La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahulmulku wa lahulhamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli sha'in Qadir
(there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and His is the
praise, and He is Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equal to that for freeing four slaves from the progeny of
Prophet Isma`il
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Slaves from the progeny of Isma`il
'' is a simile for very precious slaves. That is, it has the same
reward to which the emancipation of four very precious slaves is eligible.

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "
Shall I
tell you the expression that is most loved by Allah?'' It is `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi' (Allah is free from
imperfection and His is the praise)'.

Abu Malik Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"
Wudu' is half of Salat, and the expression: `Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection)' fills the Balance, and
the expression: `Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah)' fills the space between the heavens and the earth
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Tuhur
'' is purification or Wudu', while "
Tahur
'' is water or something which is used for purification.
According to some scholars, `Faith'' means Salat. This is also the sense in which it has been used in the Qur'an:
"
And Allah would never make your Faith to be lost (i.e., your prayers)
.'' [2:143]. Thus when Salat is the Faith, the
purification is a prerequisite for Salat. Salat is not valid without purification. Some scholars are of the opinion that
Faith here means Faith in general, as the Shari`ah defines it: To sincerely accept and believe in all that the Prophet
(PBUH) came with, i.e., sincere acceptance of Allah and His Prophet (PBUH).
"
Purification is half of the Faith
'' means the acceptance that purification is the most important article of Faith. It is
like the saying of the Prophet (PBUH) that "
Hajj is `Arafah
'', which means that `Arafat (
the place where the pilgrims
stay on the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah
) is the most important element of the Hajj. Thus, this Hadith stresses the
importance and merits of purification and offers an inducement for it. It also mentions the eminence of the
invocations mentioned in the Hadith by saying that if they are given a form, they will fill the space between the
heavens and the earth. In other words, it is a description of the infinite vastness of the Mercy and Grace of Allah.
