34ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنِ التَّسْبِيحِ فَقَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ شَيْئاً مُوَظَّفاً غَيْرَ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) وَعَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ تَقُولُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَيُسَبِّحُ مَا شَاءَ تَطَوُّعاً.

Published English translation

34. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Mahbub from al- ‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Once I asked abu Ja’far (a.s.) about Tasbih (words to glorify Allah). The Imam said, ‘I do not know of anything other than Tasbih of Fatimah (a.s.) and ten times after the morning prayer, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, alone Who has no partner, to Him belongs all praise, He gives life, causes death. He has power over all things,’ and then say Tasbih voluntarily as much as you wish.’” (! Tasbih of Fatimah (a.s.) consists of saying, ‘Allah is greater than can be described,’ thirty-four times ‘all praise belongs to Allah,’ thirty-three times and ‘Allah is free of defects,’ thirty-three times.)
