Q: What is the status of the following Hadith narrated by ibnus sunni in the book: amalul yawm wallaylah: “who ever recites the following 100 times after jumma salah on Friday; subhanallahil azeemi wa bi hamdihi. Rasulullah (sallalhu alayhi wasallam) has said the reciter’s 100,000 sins will be forgiven and in addition 24,000 of his/her parents’ sins will also be forgiven.
A:This hadith is found in Ibnus sunni (like you have stated) and in Al-Firdaws of Imam Dailami (rahimahullah)
‘Allamah Zabeedi (rahimahullah) has cited several other similar hadiths in support of this one in his commentary to Ihya-‘Ulumid deen, (vol.3 pg.272-273 )
Among them is the following: Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu’anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever recites: “subhanallahi wa bi hamdihi” will receive one hundred and twenty four thousand rewards” (Al-Mu’jamul Kabeer li Tabarani; see Majma’uz Zawaid, vol,10 pg.87)
After citing other such narrations, Imam Zabeedi (rahimahullah) writes: “Although these narrations do not all specify Friday, they do however support the virtue of (this) Tasbeeh” (Sharhul Ihya, vol.3 pg.273) Therefore one could recite this with the hope of gaining the mentioned reward.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best
