The tahlil a hundred times in a day

التهليل مائة مرة في اليوم

Whoever says "There is no god but God alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His the praise, and He has power over all things" a hundred times in a day has the equal of freeing ten slaves, a hundred good deeds written for him and a hundred bad deeds erased, and a guard from Satan that day until evening, in Malik's narration from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) Muwatta 560 and in al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 6403 — a stated number of good deeds; the writing of good deeds. It is one of the few texts that names both columns with one figure: a hundred written and a hundred wiped out.
