Sahih al-Bukhari 3547 (Book 62, Hadith 55)
Prophet, she came to him but did not find him at home `Aisha was present there to whom she told (of
her desire for a servant). When the Prophet (ﷺ) came, Aisha informed him about Fatima’s visit. `Ali added
“So the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us, while we had gone to our bed I wanted to get up but the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“Remain at your place”. Then he sat down between us till I found the coolness of his feet on my chest.
Then he said, “Shall I teach you a thing which is better than what you have asked me? When you go to
bed, say, ‘Allahu-Akbar’ thirty-four times, and ‘Subhan Allah thirty-three times, and ‘Al hamdu-li l-lah
thirty-three times for that is better for you both than a servant.”
