Biography of the UMM AL-HAKAM bint az-Zubayr bin Abdul-Muttalib

is the paternal cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and his sister through nursing.

The Prophet ﷺ would visit her in Madinah.

Umm al-Hakam said, "Some captives of war were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

I and my sister Fatimah, daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, went to him and complained to him about our existing condition.

We asked him to give us some captives.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

'The orphans of the people who were killed in the Battle of Badr came before you (and they asked for the captives).

But I will tell you something better than that.

You should say:

"Allah is the Greatest" after each prayer 33 times,

"Allah is free from imperfection" 33 times,

"Praise be to Allah" 33 times, and "There is no god worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no associate, the Kingdom belongs to Him, praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things" (once).'
