100 tasbih counter
Set to 100, with a double tick at 33 and 66 so you know where you are without looking. Tap anywhere, or press space on a computer.
Where 100 is narrated
These carry a hundred in the hadith itself. The number is in the text, not in the habit.
- Istighfar (long)Sahih al-Bukhari 6307
- SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihiSahih al-Bukhari 6405 · "Whoever says it 100 times a day, his sins are wiped away even if they were like the foam of the sea."
Where 100 is convention
For these, no number is narrated. 100 is what people commonly do, and that's a different kind of fact from a number in a hadith. Neither is wrong. Presenting them the same way is.
- The two heavy wordsSahih al-Bukhari 6682 · The hadith gives no count. 100 is common practice, not a narrated number.
- La ilaha illallahJami' at-Tirmidhi 3383 · No count narrated. 100 is common practice.
In the app these open with no target at all rather than a pre-filled 100, and the counter says "no set count" where the target usually sits. Set your own number knowing it's yours.
Knowing where you are at 100
Counting to 100 without a marker is where people lose their place. The phone gives a double tick at 33 and again at 66, then a longer settling pattern when 100 lands.
The bead view does the same visually: the strand shows 33 beads with a larger separator, and a row of markers underneath shows which third you're in. That's the same information a real misbaha gives your hand.
Common questions
- Which dhikr is said 100 times a day?
- SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi (Sahih al-Bukhari 6405) and Astaghfirullaha wa atubu ilayh (Sahih Muslim 2702) both carry a narrated 100. The tahlil is narrated at 100 a day as well, in Sahih al-Bukhari 6403.
- Is 100 always from the hadith?
- No, and that's the point of this page. For several well-known phrases no number is narrated at all, and 100 became the figure through common practice. Both cases are marked on this site so you can tell them apart.
- Does the counter buzz at 33 as well?
- Yes. Counting to 100 you get a distinct double tick at 33 and 66, so you know where you are without looking, and a longer settling pattern when 100 lands.
- Can I count past 100?
- Yes. The counter keeps going and the label changes to show how far past the target you are. A tasbih doesn't stop at the number and neither does this.
