Salatul Tasbih

For forgiveness of All Sins

Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) said to his uncle (father’s brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) Oh uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime (Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi)

Salatul tasbeeh is offered with one salam for all the four rakats. Additionally, there are two methods of offering salatul tasbeeh. Both the methods are mentioned in Tirmidhi in the book of salah and the ahadith numbers are 481 and 482.

Both the methods are essentially the same because in both the methods, the dua should be recited 300 times and all the fours rakats are offered the way you offer any other prayer of four rakats. The only difference between the two methods is that in the first method you recite the dua 25 times while you are standing (15 times after sana and 10 times just before going into ruku) and in the second method you recite it only 15 times while standing (just before going into ruku). In the second method, the 10 times you have not recited the dua while standing is done in tashhud instead (i.e. after every second sajda, you sit for some time and recite the dua 10 times). Everything else is the same.

When you read these ahadith, you will see that all the four rakats are offered with one salam. Although, we offer nawafil prayers in one salam for two rakats, you can also offer some nawafil in one salam for four rakats; for instance, tahajjud can be offered with one salam for four rakats.

Hadith for method 1 (Tirmidhi, Hadith number 481):

Ahmad ibn Abduh ad‐Dabbi reported from Abu Wahb that he asked Abdullah ibn Mubarak about salat at‐tasbih. He said: Say (AIlahu Akbar) and recite the Thana then fifteen times “SubhanALLAH walhamduliLLAH wa la ilaha illALLAH wALLAH u akhbar” then (the ta’awwuz) and (the tasmiyah) and surah al‐Fatihah and any other surah. Then recite ten times and then go into ruku and recite it ten times. Then get up from ruku and recite ten times, then ten times in sajdah, then ten times on getting up from sajdah and then ten times in the second sajdah. Offer the four raka’at in this way. This is 75 times in each raka’ah. Begin every raka’ah with fifteen repetitions, the recital and again ten
(repetitions of) tasbih. If one is offering the salah of the night then I think that it is better to make salutation after (every) two raka’at, but if one offers it during the day then he may, if he wish, make salutation after two or directly at the conclusion (of four raka’at).

Hadith for method 2 (Tirmidhi, Hadith number 482):

Sayyidina Abu Rafi (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger said to Sayyidina Abbas (RA), “O Uncle! shall I not join ties with you? Shall I not give you? Shall I not benefit you?” He said, “Of course, 0 Messenger of Allah!” So, he said, “0 Uncle! pray four raka’at. Recite in each raka’ah the Fatihat ul‐Kitab and a surah and when you have finished the recital, say Allah u Akbar walhamduliLLAH wa subhanALLAH fifteen times before making the ruku. Then go into the ruku and repeat them ten times. Then raise your head and say the words ten times. Then go into prostration and repeat them ten times, and raise your head and say the words ten times. Then prostrate and say the words ten times, and (again) raise you head and repeat them ten times before you stand up. So, this is (in all)
seventy five in each raka’ah and it is three hundred in all four raka’at. Even if your sins are like the sand praticles of Aalij, Allah will forgive them for you.” He (Sayyidina Abbas i said, “0 Messenger of Allah! Who can stand up for it every day?” He said, “If you cannot establish it every day, then observe it on Friday. And if you cannot do that every Friday then observe it every month.” And he did not cease to say that until he said, “Offer it once in a year.”

How to perform Salatul Tasbih?
This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)

The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "

Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method.
In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah...", Bismillah "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs then read the tasbih 10 times again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position) saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...", and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam.

Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite the ones they prefer.

May Allah accept this dua’ (supplication) for the sake of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah’s Grace & Peace be upon him)
