🌿 What Is Salatul Tasbeeh?
Salatul Tasbeeh (صلاة التسبيح) is a special nafl (voluntary) prayer that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recommended to his uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib (RA), as a means of forgiveness for all sins – past and future, minor and major.
📜 Hadith Reference
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“O Abbas! O my uncle! Shall I not give you, shall I not grant you, shall I not inform you of something which, if you do it, Allah will forgive all your sins – those of the past and those of the future, the old and the new, those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly, the minor and the major, the open and the secret?”
(Abu Dawood 1297, Ibn Majah 1386)
He then described Salatul Tasbeeh and its method.
Although the hadith’s chain is weak, many respected scholars – including Imam Nawawi and Imam Ibn Abidin – considered it acceptable for fadā’il al-a‘māl (virtuous deeds).
🌸 Salatul Tasbeeh Ki Dua (Main Tasbeeh)
The following tasbeeh is recited 300 times in the four rak‘ahs of Salatul Tasbeeh Namaz:
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ، وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ، وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ
“Subhanallah, Walhamdulillah, Wa La ilaha illallah, Wallahu Akbar”
Meaning: Glory be to Allah, All praise be to Allah, There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.
Each rak‘ah includes 75 recitations, bringing the total to 300 tasbeehs by the end of four rak‘ahs.

🤲 Dua Before Starting Salatul Tasbeeh
You can begin your prayer with this beautiful and authentic supplication:
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَتَقْبَلَ تَوْبَتِي وَتُقَدِّسَ قَلْبِي وَتُبَارِكَ لِي فِي رِزْقِي
“O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy that encompasses everything, to forgive my sins, accept my repentance, purify my heart, and bless my provision.”
🌙 Namaz e Witr Ki Dua (After Salatul Tasbeeh)
If you perform Salatul Tasbeeh at night, you may complete your prayer with Namaz e Witr.
The well-known Dua-e-Qunoot recited in Witr is as follows:
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ وَنَشْكُرُكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ
“O Allah! We seek Your help and forgiveness. We believe in You and rely on You. We praise You for all that is good, we thank You, and we do not deny You.”
This prayer complements the spiritual beauty of Salatul Tasbeeh, reminding us of our dependence on Allah’s mercy and guidance.
📿 Tasbeeh Counter & Tasbeeh Niskaram
Since Salatul Tasbeeh involves 300 recitations of tasbeeh, many people find it useful to use a Tasbeeh Counter (manual or digital).
This helps maintain focus and ensures accuracy in counting without breaking concentration.
In some regions, Salatul Tasbeeh is also known as Tasbeeh Niskaram, meaning “the prayer of remembrance.”
