Hadith 21:143

Ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib, from his father, who said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: “I am complaining of my chest because of what I find from carrying the water skins.” She said: “And I, by Allah, am complaining of my hands because of what I grind with the hand mill.” He said to her: “Go to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), for captives have come to him. Go to him, perhaps he will provide you with a servant.” So she went to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and he came to them and said: “You have come to me so that I may provide you with a servant, but I will inform you of what is better for you than a servant. If you wish, I will inform you of what is better for you than a servant: glorify Allah (say *SubhanAllah*) after every prayer thirty-three times, praise Him (say *Alhamdulillah*) thirty-three times, and magnify Him (say *Allahu Akbar*) thirty-four times. And when you go to your beds at night, that is one hundred.” ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I have not known myself to leave them since.” Ibn al-Kawwa’ said to him: “Not even on the night of Siffin?” ‘Ali said: “May Allah fight you, O people of Iraq! Not even on the night of Siffin.”

حدثنا بن فضيل عن عطاء بن السائب عن أبيه قال أتى علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عند فاطمة رضي الله عنها فقال إني أشتكي صدري مما أجد بالقرب قالت وأنا والله إني أشتكي يدي مما أطحن الرحا فقال لها ائتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقد أتاه سبي ائتيه لعله يخدمك خادما فانطلقت إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأتاهما فقال إنكما جئتماني لأخدمكما خادما وإني سأخبركما بما هو خير لكما من الخادم فإن شئتما أخبرتكما بما هو خير لكما من الخادم تسبحانه دبر كل صلاة ثلاثا وثلاثين وتحمدانه ثلاثا وثلاثين وتكبرانه أربعا وثلاثين وإذا أخذتما مضاجعكما من الليل فتلك مائة قال علي رضي الله عنه فما أعلمني تركتها بعد قال له أبن الكواء ولا ليلة صفين فقال له علي قاتلكم الله يا أهل العراق ولا ليلة الصفين
