Zikrullah (Remembrance of Allah)
عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ” لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ المَاءِ، وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ، وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ “ «هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ»
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (R.A) narrates that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: When on the night of Mi’raaj I met Ibrahim (AS), he ask me to convey his salaam to my Ummah and tell them that the soil of paradise is very fine and fertile and there is very good water to irrigate it, but the land is all a virgin plain and its plants are:
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
Sub ha anal-laahi, walhamdulil-laahi, walaa i-laa ha il-lal-laahu, wal-laahuakbar
Glory be to Allah, all praises be to Allah. There is no god but Allah and Allah is the greatest
