Is the reward mentioned in the hadith: "Whoever says: 'There is no god but Allah, alone without partner; to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things competent' a hundred times in a day..." achieved if the dhikr is recited at intermittent intervals, and can it be combined with the hadith: "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will free every limb of his from the Fire for every limb of the slave..."?

The reward for uttering "Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‘alā kulli shayin qadīr" (There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He is over all things competent) one hundred times in a day is like the reward of freeing ten slaves. One hundred good deeds are recorded for him, one hundred bad deeds are erased from his record, and it serves as a protection for him from Satan on that day until evening. No one comes with anything better than what he has brought, except one who does more than that. There is no condition for the dhikr (remembrance) to be continuous; rather, it can be spread throughout the day.

This immense reward does not contradict the virtue of freeing slaves, for Allah's grace is vast. Just as freeing a slave necessitates liberation from the Fire, so too does actualizing the word of Tawhid (Oneness of God) necessitate liberation from the Fire.
