باب فضل الذكر والحثِّ عليه
وعنْ جابرٍ رضي اللَّه عنهُ ، عَنِ النبي صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « منْ قال : سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ وبحَمدِهِ ، غُرِستْ لهُ نَخْلَةٌ في الجَنَّةِ » . رواه الترمذي وقال : حديث حسنٌ .
1439/244 - رياض الصالحين
The Excellence of the Remembrance of Allah
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "For him who says: `Subhan-Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him, and to Him), a palm-tree will be planted in Jannah."[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
Jannah is so vast that we cannot even imagine its vastness. The planting of trees in return for the Praise and Glorification of Allah is, therefore, neither something difficult nor surprising. So, there should not be any hesitation in accepting it as a fact. Some people take it is as a metaphor for a plentiful reward.
