Anas ibn Malik [ ‫ ]رﺿـﻲ اﻟﻠـﻪ ﻋﻨـﻪ‬narrated that Um Sulaym[‫رﺿـﻲ‬

‫] اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ‬came to the
Prophet [‫ ]ﺻﻠﻰ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ و ﺳﻠﻢ‬and ask him to teach
her supplication which she could say during her prayer. The
Prophet [‫ ]ﺻﻠﻰ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ و ﺳﻠﻢ‬said glorify Allah
10 x, praise Allah 10x , acknowledge His greatness 10x then
ask for your needs.
Following this Allah will say, granted granted.”

Benefits for this subject

Um Sulaym was a companion of the Prophet [‫ﺻﻠﻰ‬
‫ ]اﻟﻠـﻪ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ و ﺳـﻠﻢ‬and there is a difference of opinion
about her name. Some say
her name was Sahlah. She died during the reign of
Uthman[ ‫] رﺿﻲ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ‬

This hadith proves that the rememberances of Allah that

include, saying,
“ SubhanAllah, Al-Hamdulilah, and Allahu Akbar are said
before the Tasleem. i.e
the conclusion of the obligatory prayers.

After the second Tashahud is when a person makes dua.

It’s recommended to make the remembrances of Allah

extoling and glorifying
Him before supplicating to Him.

It’s permissible to say , SubhanAllah,

Al-Hamdulilah, and Allahu Akbar in the prayer when you
intend to make dua.

It’s allowed to say glorify Allah, praise Him and

acknowledge His
greatness when a person wants to ask Allah for a
 specific need and then anticipate
that supplication will be answered. [ explanation of
