Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

morning comes, ‘There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He has power over all things,’ ten times, will have ten good deeds recorded for him, ten sins erased, and his rank raised by ten degrees. These words will earn him the equivalent of freeing four slaves and protect him from Satan until evening. Whoever says them after completing the Maghrib prayer will receive the same until morning.”

The Prophet’s words, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning the opening of prayer have already been cited: “‘Allah is the Greatest’ ten times, ‘All praise is due to Allah’ ten times, ‘Glory be to Allah’ ten times, and ‘There is no god but Allah’ ten times. He asks Allah for forgiveness ten times and says, ‘O Allah, forgive me, guide me, and provide for me,’ ten times, and seeks refuge from the distress of the Day of Resurrection ten times.”

Thus, ten repetitions occur frequently in remembrances and supplications. As for eleven, this number is never mentioned in any of them except in some chains of transmission of the previously cited hadith of Abū Hurayrah. Allah (1) knows best.

(1) ك and مب read: “wa-Allāh” (“and Allah”); ع also had this reading before it was altered.
أصبح: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كلِّ شيء قديرٌ= عشرَ مرَّات، كُتِب له بهن عشرُ حسنات، ومُحِي عنه بهنَّ عشرُ سيِّئات، ورُفع له بهنَّ عشرُ درجات، وكُنَّ له عَدْلَ عَتاقةِ أربع رقاب، وكنَّ له حرَسًا من الشيطان حتى يمسي. ومن قالهن إذا صلَّى المغرب دبرَ صلاته فمثلُ ذلك حتى يصبح». وقد تقدَّم قول النَّبيِّ ﷺ في الاستفتاح: «الله أكبر عشرًا، والحمد لله عشرًا، وسبحان الله عشرًا، ولا إله إلا الله عشرًا، ويستغفر الله عشرًا، ويقول: اللهم اغفر لي، واهدني وارزقني عشرًا، ويتعوَّذ من ضيق يوم القيامة عشرًا». فالعشر في الأذكار والدعوات كثيرةٌ. وأما الإحدى عشرة فلم يجئ ذكرها في شيء من ذلك البتة، إلا في بعض طرق حديث أبي هريرة المتقدِّم، فالله (١) أعلم.
(١) ك، مب: «والله»، وكذا كان في ع قبل التغيير.
