English Translation

Rawh told us: Hisham told us, from Muhammad, from Kathir ibn Aflah, from Zayd ibn Thabit, who said: 'We were commanded to glorify Allah thirty-three times after every prayer, and praise Him thirty-three times, and magnify Him thirty-four times.' He said: A man saw in a dream and was told: 'You were commanded with thirty-three glorifications, thirty-three praises, and thirty-four magnifications; if you were to add the declaration of Allah's oneness to them, and make them twenty-five each...' So I mentioned that to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: 'You have seen [something meaningful], so do as you saw,' or words to that effect.
