1431 – Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, “Is any one of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds every day?” One of those sitting there asked, “How can a person earn a thousand good deeds?” He replied, “Let him say subḥānallāh (Glory be to Allah) one hundred times; a thousand good deeds will be written for him, or a thousand sins will be erased from him.” Related by Muslim.

Al-Humaydī said: This is the wording found in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim—“or a thousand sins will be erased.” Al-Burqānī added: The narration transmitted by Shuʿbah, Abū ʿAwānah, and Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān from Mūsā—the transmitter through whom Muslim recorded it—reads, “and a thousand sins will be erased,” with “and” instead of “or.”

These two hadiths clarify the remembrance of Allah and its virtue. The first hadith, from ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), tells that she missed the Prophet ﷺ one night and went out searching for him.

She searched until she found him in the mosque, prostrating and calling upon Allah with this supplication. She said, “My hand touched the soles of his feet while he was prostrating.” From this, the scholars infer that a person in prostration should keep his feet together rather than apart, because it is not possible for one hand to rest upon
