حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ‏:‏ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ لاَ يَخِيبُ قَائِلُهُنَّ‏:‏ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، مِئَةَ مَرَّةٍ‏.‏ رَفَعَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ‏.‏

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us, saying: Zuhayr narrated to us, saying: Mansur narrated to us, from al-Hakam, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Ka‘b ibn ‘Ujrah, who said: “There are remembrances after prayer whose reciter will not be disappointed: ‘Glory be to Allah; praise belongs to Allah; there is no god but Allah; Allah is greater,’ one hundred times.” Ibn Abi Unaysah and ‘Amr ibn Qays traced this report back to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

  • وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، مِئَةَ مَرَّةٍ‏.‏ رَفَعَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ‏.

    The final phrase رَفَعَهُ is a technical attribution note; the exact scope of one hundred repetitions may benefit from review.

    Should the four remembrances be understood collectively as said one hundred times, as the syntax suggests?
