Tasbih of Hazrat Fatimah (s.a).Allahu Akbar - 34 times, Alhamdulillah - 33 times and Subhanallah - 33 times.


Tasbih of
 Hazrat Fatimah (s.a).

Allahu Akbar - 34 times, Alhamdulillah - 33 times and Subhanallah - 33 times.
This is what
we call the Tasbih of Hazrat Fatimah (s.a).

The Tasbih of Hazrat Fatimah (s.a) is from the emphatically recommended acts of worship in the Islamic Shariat.
It is a simple act of worship from the aspect of performance;
however, its effect, reward and merit are abundant.
This can be gauged from the fact that when the Holy Prophet (PBUH) wished to impart this act of worship to his daughter Hazrat Zahra (s.a),
he declared,
‘O Fatimah! I have granted you something that is superior to a maidservant and to the world and everything in it.

Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) informs,
‘Allah is not worshipped by anything more meritorious than The Tasbih of Fatima Zahra (s.a).
Had there been any worship superior to it,
most surely the Holy Prophet (PBUH) would have granted it to Hazrat Fatimah (s.a).’


About the dearness of this Tasbih
Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says
“Reciting Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) everyday after every Namaz is liked by me more than reciting one thousand rakats of (mustahab) namaz”.


Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says
Reciting this Tasbih results in forgiveness of sins.




Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) says:
“One, who recites the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) and then seeks forgiveness, will be forgiven”.


It also results in driving Satan away.
Imam Mohammad Baqir (a.s) says:“
(Reciting Tasbih) drives away Satan and makes results in the satisfaction of Allah”.

Reciting Tasbih regularly delivers the reciter from adversities in this world as well as the hereafter.
One of the graceful effects of the regular recitation of the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) is that it delivers the reciter from adversities and hardships in this world as well as the hereafter.
Thus one should not ignore its benefits and effects
and should not be careless and lazy in its recitation

Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says to one of his companions:
“You do adhere to it and be regular about its recitation, for surely one who is steadfast upon its recitation will not encounter adversity.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) says:
“One who glorifies Allah after the obligatory prayer through the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.),
and then follows it up by saying
‘Laa elaaha illallaho’,
Allah will forgive his sins.”

According to
 a tradition from
 Imam Jafar Sadiq,
 one should recite
 Allaho Akbar 34 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Subhaanallah 33 times.

Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) should be recited immediately on completion of Namaz.
This entails that as soon as the reciter has finished the Namaz,
he should remain seated in the same position of Tashahud
without moving his feet and doing any other thing, immediately he should commence the recitation of the Tasbih.

The reciting of Tasbih immediately on completion of Namaz has
a special excellence, which is not there otherwise.

The above statement can be evidenced by the following tradition of
Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) wherein he states:

“One who recites the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) before even moving his feet, Allah will forgive him.”

Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) has said:
“One who recites the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) after a wajib namaz before he stretches out his legs (i.e. he recites the Tasbih while he is in the posture of Tashahud) , then Jannat (Paradise) becomes wajib upon him”

Reciting the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a.)
 before sleeping
Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says: “One who recites the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) at the time of going to bed, he will be accounted amongst those who have remembered Allah a lot.”  


  Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s)   says that
at the time of going to bed, Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a) and then Maoozatain (Surah Falaq and Surah Naas) and Ayatul Kursi should be recited.

Teaching the recitation of Tasbih to the children
In this connection,
 Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says:
“O Abu Haroon!
We order our children
 to recite the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra (s.a)
in the same manner as we order them for the performance of Namaz”

Reciting Tasbih made out of the Turbah of grave of Imam Hussein (a.s):
It is better
that the Tasbih
  be made of the pure
Turbah (soil) of the grave of Imam Hussein (a.s)
It has been narrated
from
 Imame Zaman (a.s):
 “ One who just holds the Tasbih made out of the soil of the grave of Imam Hussein (a.s) and does not do any dhikr, even then for him will be written the reward of having recited the Azkaar”  


Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) says:
“One dhikr or Isteghfaar recited on the Tasbih made out of the soil of the grave of Imam Hussein (a.s) is equal to 70 such dhikr recited on any other thing.”
