Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and his wife Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For example, if a person is exhausted, does he say it... on the basis that he advised them that this is better for them than a servant? Does he say it when exhausted or something like that?
Answer:
It is recommended that he say it, and the hadith comes in this regard, and we have clarified it now. It says: Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah thirty-three times each, but the takbir is thirty-four times, making a total of one hundred. It is recommended when going to sleep and it is recommended after every prayer. However, after every prayer, it is concluded with takbir or with "La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lah al-mulk wa lah al-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir." All of this is a recommended practice (sunnah) when going to sleep and after every one of the five prayers.
Q: But what is used after fatigue from work or something like that?
The Shaykh: It is recommended for him to recite tasbih a lot, even thousands of times. He should praise Allah and say takbir; there is no limit. He should recite tasbih for Allah, praise Allah, and say takbir for Him, even thousands of times. Each time is ten good deeds; one good deed is ten times its value. If he says it a thousand times, he gets ten thousand good deeds. If he says it ten thousand times, he gets one hundred thousand good deeds, and so on.
