Ahmad ibn Mani‘ narrated to us: Isma‘il ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us: ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib narrated to us, from his father, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘There are two qualities that no Muslim observes without entering Paradise. They are easy, but few people act upon them: glorify Allah ten times after every prayer, praise Him ten times, and proclaim His greatness ten times.’ He said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah count them on his hand.’ He said: ‘That is one hundred and fifty on the tongue and one thousand five hundred on the Scale. When you go to bed, glorify Him, proclaim His greatness, and praise Him one hundred times; that is one hundred on the tongue and one thousand on the Scale. Which of you commits two thousand five hundred bad deeds in a day and night?’ They said, ‘How could we fail to count them?’ He said, ‘Satan comes to one of you while he is praying and says, “Remember such-and-such, remember such-and-such,” until he finishes, and perhaps he does not do it. He also comes to him while he is lying down and keeps lulling him to sleep until he falls asleep.’ This hadith is hasan sahih. Shu‘bah and al-Thawri also narrated this hadith from ‘Ata’ ibn al-Sa’ib. Al-A‘mash narrated it from ‘Ata’ in abbreviated form. Reports on this subject are also related from Zayd ibn Thabit, Anas, and Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them).
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The ten repetitions of tasbih, tahmid, and takbir after each prayer total thirty; across five prayers they amount to 150 utterances and 1,500 on the Scale. The bedtime instruction is one hundred total utterances, corresponding to one thousand on the Scale. The Arabic says Satan distracts the worshipper until he finishes prayer, perhaps preventing him from saying them, then lulls him to sleep at bedtime.
