935 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Abu Musa al-Ansari narrated to us; al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us; Saʿid ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz reported:
I said to Maʿruf ibn Hāniʾ, “I see that your tongue never grows tired of the remembrance of Allah—Exalted is He. How many times do you glorify Him each day?”
He replied, “Two hundred thousand times—save when the fingers slip in counting.”
٩٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِمَعْرُوفِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ: أَرَى لِسَانَكَ لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il –، فَكَمْ تُسَبِّحُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ؟ قَالَ: مِائَتَيْ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تُخْطِئَ الْأَصَابِعُ "
