the reason, he said that his mother was burning in Hell. Shaykh Ibn al-ꜤArabī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه had recited Kalimah Tayyibah 70,000 times, so he conveyed the reward of this to the young man’s deceased mother in his heart. Immediately, the young man began to smile and said, “Now I can see my mother in Paradise.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                               صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of the Prophet! You have just heard that the young man saw his mother in Hell by means of the power Allah Almighty bestowed on him, but by virtue of the blessing of Shaykh Ibn al-ꜤArabī’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 (َآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ) 70,000 times, Allah Almighty will forgive him and He will also forgive the person for whom it is recited.”^[2]

Therefore, we should also recite the Kalimah Tayyibah 70,000 times at least once in our lifetime and then send its reward to our loved ones who have passed away. It is not necessary to complete the number of the recitation of Kalimah Tayyibah in one day and one sitting, it can also be completed bit by bit. It can be recited easily at least 100 times daily.
