A word from the Shaykh on the importance of adhering to the prescribed dhikr, along with his explanation of the ruling on drinking while standing.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And among that is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
the best of words, and it does not matter with which you begin: Subhan-Allah, wal-Hamdu-Lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wa Allahu Akbar خيرالكلام أو أفضل الكلام بعد القرءان أربع كلمات لا يضرك بأيهن بدأت: سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر
Sunan Ibn Majah 3811Sahih (Darussalam)
. So this type of dhikr allows the Muslim to take advantage of his free time by remembering Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with this dhikr, which is next to the Qur'an in virtue, without a specific number to be bound by. Rather, he acts according to his circumstances and his time, repeating as much as he wishes: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar. And if he wants to choose, for example, a dhikr that is restricted by the Sunnah to a specific number, he comes here to something like his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever says one hundred times in a day: Subhan Allah wa bihamdih (Glory be to Allah and with His praise), his sins are forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea. من قال في يوم مائة مرة: سبحان الله و بحمده. غفرت له ذنوبه و إن كانت مثل زبد البحر
. One hundred times. So, in the first category, a person cannot be bound by a specific number; it is sufficient for him to say:
SubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar سبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر
Sunan an-Nasa'i 924Hasan (Darussalam)
... We have moved on to something like the previous hadith that includes a number:
Whoever says Subhan Allah wa bihamdih (Glory be to Allah and with His praise) one hundred times, his sins are forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea. من قال سبحان الله و بحمده مئة مرة غفرت له ذنوبه و إن كانت مثل زبد البحر
. That is like this reward: whoever says in his day one hundred times:
There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power over everything لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له ، له الملك و له الحمد و هو على كل شيء قدير
Muwatta Malik 20:131
. You see that this is longer than that. Whoever has a longer breath comes with this last dhikr one hundred times, and the reward is that his sins are forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea. And now, attend to your food, may Allah bless it for you. As for the small child, he may not need food; he needs breastfeeding.
... As for the second hadith, it is possible to interpret the second hadith in light of the legal principles, among which is:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. ربنا لا تؤاخذنا ان نسينا أو أخطانا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. But... a good example... the most famous is the hadith of Anas ibn Malik, who said:
God’s messenger forbade drinking نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الشرب قائما
Mishkat al-Masabih 4264
. And in a wording from him:
Zajer (prohibited/restrained) زجر
. And the prohibition (zajr) is more emphatic in forbidding than the word for prohibition (nahy):
Zajer (prohibited/restrained) زجر
.
... He does not know its interpretation... and he turns away from the general text... so this is a matter of...
