Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 3554
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي كِنَانَةُ مَوْلَى صَفِيَّةَ، قَال: سَمِعْتُ صَفِيَّةَ، تَقُولُ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيَّ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ نَوَاةٍ أُسَبِّحُ بِهَا، فَقُلْتُ: لَقَدْ سَبَّحْتُ بِهَذِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا سَبَّحْتِ بِهِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى عَلِّمْنِي، فَقَالَ: قُولِي سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ صَفِيَّةَ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْكُوفِيِّ، وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ، وَفِي الْبَابِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.
Saffiyah narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon me and before me were four thousand date pits, I was making Tasbih with them. He said: ‘You have made Tasbih with these? Should I not teach you that which is more than what you have made Tasbih with?’ So I said: ‘Indeed, teach me.’ So he said: ‘Say: glory is to Allah according to the number of His creation (Subḥān Allāhi `adada khalqihi).’”

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
