In relation to conveying Sawab, listen to a very beautiful parable from page 11 of ’25 Parables of Grave-dwellers’ a booklet by Ameer Ahl-e-Sunnat.

‘Allamah ‘Ali Qaari رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated: Shaykh Akbar Muhyuddin Ibn ‘Arabi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went somewhere to attend a feast. He saw a young man eating a meal. It was famous about him that he would become aware of hidden matters and the conditions of a grave and he would also come to know about the condition of Paradise and Hell by the bestowal of Allah Almighty. While eating his meal he suddenly began to weep. Upon being asked for the reason he said that his mother was on fire in the Hell. Sayyiduna Shaykh Akbar Muhyuddin Ibn ‘Arabi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had Kalimah Tayyibah which he had recited 70,000 times; he sent the reward of this 70,000-time recited Kalimah Tayyibah to his deceased mother in his heart. Immediately, the young man began to smile and said: Now I can see my mother in Paradise.

(Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, vol. 3, pp. 222, Hadees 1142)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                                 صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

O devotees of Rasool! Have you noticed! That young man saw his mother in Hell by means of the power Allah Almighty bestowed on him, but by virtue of the blessing of Sayyiduna Ibn Arabi’s act of sending the reward of Kalimah Tayyibah, his mother attained salvation from the torment. Remember! The blessed Hadees that states the excellence of reciting Kalimah Tayyibah 70,000 times is as follows: Undoubtedly, whoever recites (لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ) 70,000 times, Allah Almighty will forgive him and the person for whom it is recited Allah Almighty will forgive him too. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, vol. 3, pp. 222, Hadees 1142) We, therefore, should also recite the Kalimah Tayyibah 70,000 times at least once in our lifetime and then should send its reward to the relatives who have passed away.

It is not necessary to complete the number of the recitation of Kalimah Tayyibah in one day and one sitting, but rather it can also be completed bit by bit. It can be recited easily at least 100 times daily.
