Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
For him who says: `Subhan-
Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him, and to Him),' a palm-tree will
be planted in Jannah
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Jannah is so vast that we cannot even imagine its vastness. The planting of trees in return for the
Praise and Glorification of Allah is, therefore, neither something difficult nor surprising. So, there should not be any
hesitation in accepting it as a fact. Some people take it is as a metaphor for a plentiful reward.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
I met Ibrahim
(PBUH) on the Night of Ascension (Al-Asra), and he said to me: `O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your
Ummah, and tell them that Jannah has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain levelled land. The plants
grow there by uttering: Subhan-Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, La ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar (Allah is free from
imperfection; praise be to Allah; there is no true god except Allah; and Allah is Greatest)
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Qi`an is the plural of Qa` which means plain levelled land that does not have any tree. Trees grow on
the plain land of Jannah in return for remembrance and Glorification of Allah. The more one remembers Allah, the
greater is the number of trees which grow on the piece of land that will be awarded to him.

Abud-Darda (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Shall I not
inform you of the best of your actions which are the purest to your Rubb, which exalt you to the high ranks, which
are more efficacious than spending gold and silver (in charity), and better for you than you should encounter your
enemies whom you will smite their necks and they will smite your necks?
'' They said, "Certainly.'' He (PBUH) said,
"
Remembrance of Allah the Exalted.
''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith also tells us about the eminence of remembrance of Allah, as the basis of every good
deed is remembrance of Allah and expression of one's devotion and obedience to Him. Without these two, even the
greatest virtue is useless and is of no value. Thus, we must always bear it in mind that remembrance of Allah is
superior to everything else.

Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and I went
to see a woman. She had date-stones or pebbles in front of her, and she was counting and reciting Tasbih. [`Subhan-
Allah' (Allah is free from imperfection)]. He said, "
Shall I not inform you of what is easier or better than this for
you?'' You should say: `Subhan-Allahi `adada ma khalaqa fis-sama', wa subhan-Allahi `adada ma khalaqa fil-ardi,
wa subhan-Allahi `adada ma baina dhalika, wa subhan-Allahi `adada ma Huwa Khaliqun, wallahu Akbaru mithla
dhalika, wal-hamdu lillahi mithla dhalika, wa la ilaha illallahu mithla dhalika, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi
mithla dhalika (Subhan-Allah, equal to the number of what He created in the heaven; and Subhan-Allah, equal to the
number of His creatures in the earth; and Subhan-Allah, equal to the number in between them; and Subhan-Allah
equal to the number of those He will create).' Then say: `Allahu Akbar' (Allah is Greatest) in the same way. Then
