English
Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Fatimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) complaining about the hardship of grinding grain with her hand mill. When she heard that he had received some slaves, she went to see him but didn't find him. She told Aisha about it, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) came, Aisha informed him. He came to us while we had gone to bed. We started to get up, but he said, "Stay where you are." Then he sat between us until I felt the coolness of his feet on my stomach. He said, "Shall I teach you something better than what you asked for? When you go to bed, say 'SubhanAllah' 33 times, 'Alhamdulillah' 33 times, and 'Allahu Akbar' 34 times. This is better for you than having a servant."
