Abu Hurayra, The Gardener

The Prophet Muhamamd ﷺ (Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Abu Hurayra رضي الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him), and saw that he was planting something.

He ﷺ said to him, 'Oh, Abu Hurayra, shall I show you something to plant that's better than this (a better planting)?'

Abu Hurayra replied, 'Of course, Oh Messenger of God.'

So the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told him, 'Say:

"Subhan'Allahi, wal-hamdulillahi, wa laa ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar,"

Glory be to Allah [Who is free from imperfection], and all praise belongs to Allah, and there is no other god [to be worshipped], except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.

And a tree will be planted for you in Paradise for every one (each time) you say."

Narrated in Ibn Maajah, The Book of Good Manners, no. 3807, authentic hadith.
