6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ تَسْبِيحُ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ (عليها السلام) إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَكَبِّرِ الله أَرْبَعاً وَثَلاثِينَ وَاحْمَدْهُ ثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ وَسَبِّحْهُ ثَلاثاً وَثَلاثِينَ وَتَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَعَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الصَّافَّاتِ وَعَشْراً مِنْ آخِرِهَا.

Published English translation

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid and al-Husayn ibn Sa’Id all from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwah from Hisham ibn Salim from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “ Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’ (a.s.) should be said when you are about to go to your bed. It is 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. Recite verse 255 of Chapter two, Chapters 113, 114, ten verses from the beginning of Chapter 37 and ten verses from the end of Chapter 37.’”
