The Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatimah

· Sayeda Fatima used to work very hard in her house. Her father Holy Prophet, could see how hard she worked. One day he told her that he was going to give her something that would be better than a helper or anything else in the world. He taught her this Tasbeeh saying that after every Salaat she should say:

34 Times - "Allahu Akbar"
33 Times - "Alhamdulillah"
33 Times - "Subhanallah"

This is known as the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima.

· Prayer is like a beautiful flower and the Tasbeeh of Sayeda Fatima gives this beautiful flower a beautiful fragrance.

Below are quotes from "Mafaatiih al Jinaan", by Sheikh Abbas Al Qummi:

Imam Baqir said:

· “Whoever recites the tasbeeh of Fatima and then asks Allah for forgiveness, Allah will forgive him. Tasbeeh of Fatimah is 100 times verbal or oral but on scale is recorded 1000 times .It will drive away the Satan from him. The Lord will be pleased with him”.

Imam Sadiq narrated:

· “Whoever did the tasbeeh of Fatima before he unfolded his legs (from the position of sitting in obligation prayer), Allah will forgive him and will make paradise obligatory upon him. The tasbeeh of Fatima after every obligatory prayer is more loved by Allah than praying 1,000 rakat every day”.

· It is preferred to use the beads that are made from the turba of Imam Hussein. It is related that Fatima used to make tasbeeh on her hands, or on a wollen string that was knotted. She later used to make tasbeeh from turbah of Hamzah. After his martyrdom. When Imam Hussein was martyred in Karbala, it became a tradition to use the clay that was from nearby his grave.

Imam Baqir said:

· “If there is better form of worship than tasbeeh of Fatimah, verily Rasulullah must have been given her”.

Imam Mahdi said:

· “That whoever forgot to make dhikr (remembrance) and in his hand if there is a rosary of beads made from the turba of Imam Hussein, reward is written for him”.

Imam Sadiq said:

· “The beads from the grave of Imam Hussein are counted as tasbeeh in the hand of a man, even if he did not make the tasbeeh (i.e. he only held it)”.

· “Whoever did tasbeeh on the clay beads from the grave of Imam Hussein, Allah will write for him 400 good deeds, and will erase from him 400 bad deeds, and meet 400 of his needs (hajat) and raise him 400 degrees/ levels”.

Imam Musa said:

· “The true believer of Islam, a mukmin, is not without five things: a miswak (toothbrush),a comb/brush, a prayer rug, tasbeeh beads (subha) and an aqiq”.
