Does the dhikr "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent," recited ten times after Fajr and Maghrib, differ from what is mentioned in the morning and evening remembrances, namely "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things competent," ten times, in terms of Sunnah? And are their rewards separate? What is the specific reward for each of them? And are the hadiths mentioned therein authentic?

The narrations (hadiths) concerning the remembrances (dhikr) vary. Some add "He gives life and causes death" while others do not. They also differ in terms of reward: some mention freeing one slave, others four, or ten. They also vary between being absolute (unrestricted) and restricted. Ibn Hajar inclines to the view that the majority mention four slaves, and reconciliation with the ten can be made by understanding that one hundred is equivalent to ten slaves. As for one slave, that is considered anomalous (shadhdh). Al-Qurtubi reconciles the differences by attributing them to the varying states of those performing the remembrance and their comprehension of the meanings of the words. It is also possible that the quantity differs according to the time. In summary, these remembrances are recited after the Fajr and Maghrib prayers, and as part of the morning and evening remembrances, and each has its own reward.
