Remembrance of Allah

Some hadith for dhikr

The principle:
Abu Musa Ash`ari berichtet:

The case of a person who remembers his Lord and of one who does not remember Him is like that of the living and the dead. (Al-Bukhāri) RS-1439 (1434)


subHāna-LLah
100 x
Sa`d bn Abi Waqqās related:

Once we were sitting with the Holy Prophet ﷺ when he said:
Could any of you have the strength to earn a thousand virtues in a day?
One of the audience asked as to how one thousand good deeds be earned.

He answered ﷺ:
If one glorifies Allah (ie. recites subHāna-LLah), a hundred times he would be credited with a thousand good deeds or a thousand sins would be remitted. (Muslim) RS-1436 (1431)

 

Other regular devotions:
lā ilāha ill-ALLAHu
1000 x
morning and evening, or as often as possible
astighfār
100 x
morning and evening, or 27x after S. Fajr for the believers (hadith)
10x

best after every fard

after S. Fajr:

lā ilāha ill-ALLAHu, wahdahu lā shārik-ALLAHu
lahu-l mulku wa lahu-l hamd, yuhī wa yumīt,
wa huwa `ala kulli shayin qadīr
100x ev. day
(Who says:)
lā ilāha ill-ALLAHu, wahdahu lā shārik-ALLAHu
lahu-l mulku wa lahu-l hamd,
wa huwa `ala kulli shayin qadīr
     as the freeing of 10 slaves,
    100 virues recorded,
    100 vices blotted out,
    is a safeguard against Shaitan till evening... M-6508
100x a day
(Who says:)
subhāna-LLahi wa bi-hamdihi
his sins are blotted out even to the extent of the foam of the sea.M-6508
