1. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from the one he mentioned, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said to his companions one day: If you see that you were to gather what you have of containers and merchandise, would you see that it reaches Heaven? They said: No, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Shall I then not guide you to something whose root is on earth and whose branch is in Heaven? They said: Sure, O Messenger of Allah. He said: it is that one of you says when he is finished with his obligatory prayer: «Glory be to Allah, Praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greater» thirty times. For indeed, their root is on earth and their branch is in Heaven, and they repel burning, drowning, demolition and degeneration, in the well and with regards a horrid death, and they are the good legacies.
