Al-Tasbihat al-Arba'a: Difference between revisions

'''Al-Tasbīhāt al-Arba'a''' (Arabic: {{ia|التَسْبیحات الأرْبَعَة}}) consists of four [[dhikr]]s recited in daily [[prayers]] with 3 or 4 [[rak'a]]s as well as certain other dhikrs. The four dhikrs are: "Subhan Allah, wa l-hamd li-llah, wa la ilah-a illa Allah, wa Allah Akbar" (Exalted is [[Allah]], and praise is for Allah, and there is no god except Allah, and [[God]] is the greatest).

In [[daily prayers]], al-Tasbihat al-Arba'a is recited in rak'as 3 and 4 instead of [[Sura al-Hamd]] and another [[Sura]].<ref>Fāḍilī, ''Irfān-i Namāz'', p. 85.</ref> According to the [[Fatwa]]s of some Shiite [[marja']]s, al-Tasbihat al-Arba'a should be recited three times in rak'as 3 and 4 of the prayer, but according to others, it suffices to recite it only one time.<ref>Banī Hashimī, ''Tawḍīḥ al-masāʾil-i marājiʿ'', vol. 1, p. 552.</ref>
