Some of the poor Emigrants came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and said to him,
“The wealthy have obtained all high ranks and everlasting bliss.”
He asked, “How is that?”
They replied: “They offer Salat as we do, and observe Saum (fasting) as we do, but they give in Sadaqah (charity) and we do not, and they emancipate slaves and we cannot.”
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “Shall I not teach you something whereby you will catch up with those who have preceded you and will get ahead of those who follow you, and no one will surpass you unless he does the same as you do?”
They said, “Surely, O Messenger of Allah.”
He said, “Say: SubhaanAllah, Allahu Akbar, and Alhamdulillah, thirty-three times at the end of every Salat.”
They returned to him and said: “Our brothers, the possessors of wealth, having heard what we are doing, have started doing the same.”
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “This is Grace of Allah which He gives to whom He wishes.“

LET US MAKE IT A HABIT FROM TODAY ONWARDS, WE WILL NEVER NEGLECT RECITING THE ABOVE TASBEEHS AFTER OUR FARDH PRAYERS AGAIN -
I have read another hadith where the Prophet s.a.a.w. taught Ali r.a. to say them 10x each after every salah. Was that particularly for him and the hadith above for the general masses?
Show no concern for the praise of one whose praise cannot adorn you in any way, nor for the blame of those whose blame cannot dishonor you. And seek the praise of the One whose Praise is all honor and whose blame is all disgrace. Ibn Qayyim
