حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ التَّيْمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ سُمَىٍّ عَنْ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ - وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ قُتَيْبَةَ أَنَّ فُقَرَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالُوا ذَهَبَ أَهْلُ الدُّثُورِ بِالدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى وَالنَّعِيمِ الْمُقِيمِ. فَقَالَ « وَمَا ذَاكَ ». قَالُوا يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّى وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلاَ نَتَصَدَّقُ وَيُعْتِقُونَ وَلاَ نُعْتِقُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَفَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ شَيْئًا تُدْرِكُونَ بِهِ مَنْ سَبَقَكُمْ وَتَسْبِقُونَ بِهِ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ وَلاَ يَكُونُ أَحَدٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْكُمْ إِلاَّ مَنْ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعْتُمْ ». قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « تُسَبِّحُونَ وَتُكَبِّرُونَ وَتَحْمَدُونَ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ مَرَّةً ». قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ فَرَجَعَ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالُوا سَمِعَ إِخْوَانُنَا أَهْلُ الأَمْوَالِ بِمَا فَعَلْنَا فَفَعَلُوا مِثْلَهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ذَلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ». وَزَادَ غَيْرُ قُتَيْبَةَ فِى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ قَالَ سُمَىٌّ فَحَدَّثْتُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ وَهِمْتَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ « تُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَتُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ ». فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَبِى صَالِحٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِى فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِنَّ ثَلاَثَةً وَثَلاَثِينَ. قَالَ ابْنُ عَجْلاَنَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رَجَاءَ بْنَ حَيْوَةَ فَحَدَّثَنِى بِمِثْلِهِ عَنْ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah - and this is the Hadith of Qutaibah - that the poor Muhajrin came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: "The people of great wealth have taken the highest ranks and eternal bliss." He said: "Why is that?" They said: "They offer Salat as we offer Salat and they fast as we fast, but they give in charity and we do not, and they free slaves and we do not." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Shall I not teach you something by means of which you may catch up with those who have gone ahead of you, and go ahead of those who come after you, and there will be no one who is better than you except those who do as you do?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: ' Glorify Allah, extol His greatness, and praise Him at the end of every prayer, thirty-three times." Abu Salih said: "The poor Muhajrin went back to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'Our wealthy brothers have heard what we did and they did likewise.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'That is a bounty from Allah; He gives it to whomever He wills."' Someone other than Qutaibah added to this Hadith, narrating from Al-Laith from Ibn 'Ajlan: "Sumayy said: 'I narrated this Hadith to one of my family and he said: "You have forgotten. 'Rather he said: "Glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Allah thirty-three times and extol Allah's greatness thirty-three times."' I went back to Abu Salih and told him that. He took my hand and said: 'Allahu akbar wa subhan Allah wal-hamdu Lillah, Allahu akbar wa subhan Allah wal-hamdu Lillah, until you reach a total of thirty-three.'" Ibn 'Ajlan said: "I narrated this Hadith to Raja' bin Haiwah, and he narrated something similar to me from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurairah, from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)."
