[Explanation of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding tasbih: (or added to it)]
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever says: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi [Glory be to Allah and His praise] one hundred times, his sins will be forgiven, even if they were like the foam of the sea) And in another hadith he said: (No one comes with anything better than what he brought, except a man who said what he said or added to it) The sheikhs of the Sufi paths took from his saying: (or added to it) that the increase is absolute; so they obligated their followers to perform tasbih ten thousand times, for example, or one hundred thousand times, and they give them a misbaha containing about a thousand beads. So, is it taken from this that tasbih ten thousand times or one hundred thousand times is permissible due to the absoluteness mentioned in the hadith?
The specified tasbih is taken as specified by the Shari'ah, and the absolute tasbih is taken as absolute and not specified.So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever says: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi [Glory be to Allah and His praise] one hundred times, his sins will be forgiven, even if they were like the foam of the sea) .
But if you increase without specification, a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The ordinances of Islam have become too many for me, so advise me.He said: (Let your tongue be moist with the remembrance of Allah) ,And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab: 35] But specifying it as ten thousand times, or one hundred thousand times, and then adopting this misbaha that contains a thousand beads—as you mentioned—which a person wears and which weighs down his neck, all of this is undoubtedly forbidden.
It is said: The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not adopt a misbaha, neither with small beads nor with large beads, nor did he set for his Ummah one hundred thousand or ten thousand.
Or anything similar to that. So remember Allah much, without specification.
