Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There are two practices that no Muslim maintains without entering Paradise. They are easy, but few do them: glorify Allah 10 times, praise Him 10 times, and declare His greatness 10 times after every prayer." The Prophet (ﷺ) would count them on his fingers. "That makes 150 with the tongue but 1500 in the scales. And when you go to bed, glorify, praise and declare Allah's greatness 100 times - that's 100 with the tongue but 1000 in the scales. Who among you commits 2500 sins in a day?" They asked, "How can one not maintain them?" He replied, "Satan comes to one of you during prayer and makes him remember things until he becomes distracted, or comes to him in bed and makes him sleep."
