The Method of Praying Salatul Tasbih [note]

 The Tasbih to be read in Salatul Tasbih

سبحان الله والحمدلله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر

“Subhan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar.”

“It is narrated that the prophet (ﷺ) told his uncle Hazrat ‘Abbas (R.A): O Abbas! O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not show you something by means of which Allah will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the past and recent, the unintentional and the intentional, the small and huge, the secret and open?

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) then taught him the Salatul Tasbeeh. Furthermore he advised him that it be offered daily, if possible. If not, then every Friday or once a month or once a year or at least once in one’s life time” (Abu Dawood)
