بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
I am the sister of your Companion (the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم )
When the tribe of Hawaazin and Bnu Sa'd were defeated, besides thousands of camels and sheep, a large number the people of tribes were also captured.
Among them was an old and weak lady who started telling the man who took her captive, "I am the sister of your Companion (the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم)"
When they presented her to the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم she said to him: "O Muhammad! I am your sister"
The Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم asked how do we know that you are what you say you are, she said I still have your bite marks on my back. (she used to carry the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم as child on her back and play with him) .
She was Huthaafah bint Al-Haarith, known as Ash-Shaymaa' رضي الله عنه
She was the sister of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم by suckling, as they both suckled from (her blood mother) Haleemah As-Sa'diyyah, may Allah be pleased with her.
He صلى الله عليه و سلم recognised and welcomed her and spread his garment for her to sit on.
He صلى الله عليه و سلم said to her, as his eyes shed tears: "If you chose to go back to your tribe, I will send, and if you chose to stay with us, then you will live honoured, loved and respected amongst us"
She replied: "I prefer to go back" then she embraced Islam, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم gifted her a camel, a two servants (a male and a female) to show her respect and honour.
…
As a child she رضي الله عنه used to play with the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and sing saying:
O our Lord keep Muhammad for us … till I see him grown up and prosperous
Then I see him becoming a leading master … and suppress his enemy and envier
And grant him an everlasting might and valour
Abu 'Urwah Al-Azdi used to chant these verses of poetry and say: " Allaah سبحانه وتعالى Has responded to her supplication in the best manner"
…
She رضي الله عنه was a devout worshipper and was famous as a poet who supported and defended Islam and the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم, with her poetry, and she remained as such until she died

".....so what is for me?”
A Bedouin man (رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُ) came to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) and said “O
Messenger of Allah, teach me good”
So the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) took him by the hand, and said, “Say ‘SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu akbar’.”
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والحَمْدُ للهِ، ولَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ واللهُ أَكْبَرُ
So the Bedouin counted them on his fingers and then left, either to contemplate over the words or to memorize them, then he returned.
When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saw him, he smiled.
The Bedouin(رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُ), who was a simple man, asked;
“SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha ila allah, wa Allahu Akbar- these are all for Allah, so what is for me?”
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم), still smiling, said
,"O bedouin, when you say, 'Subhanallah', Allah says, 'You have spoken the truth',
when you say, 'Alhamdulillah', Allah says, 'You have spoken the truth',
when you say, 'La ilaha illa Allah', Allah says, 'You have spoken the truth',
when you say, 'Allahu Akbar', Allah says, 'You have spoken the truth'.
If you say للَّهُمَّ اغْفِرِ لِي، ‘O Allah forgive me’ , He says ‘I have done so’.
If you say وارْحَمْنِي ‘O Allah have mercy on me, He says ‘I have done so’.
If you say وارْزُقْنِي ‘O Allah, give me rizq (provision), He says ‘I have done so’.”
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والحَمْدُ للهِ، ولَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ واللهُ أَكْبَرُ
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرِ لِي، وارْحَمْنِي، وارْزُقْنِي
Dua can be found ( with some variation) in the HisnulMuslim

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (رَّضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُ)
Reported by ibn Abi Ad-Dunya and Al-Bayhaqi, and has been classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani
Al-Bayhaqi may Allaah have mercy upon him presented this Hadeeth in his book Shuʻab Al-Eemaan, and Al-Albaani may Allaah have mercy upon him declared it to be Saheeh (sound) in his books As-Silsilah As-Saheehah and Saheeh At-Targheeb wa At-Tarheeb.
Al-Maqdisi may Allaah have mercy upon him also presented it in his book Al-Mustakhraj min Al-Ahaadeeth Al-Mukhtaarah mimma lam Yukhrijahu Al-Bukhaari wa Muslim fi Saheehayhima, also known as Al-Ahaadeeth Al-Mukhtaarah. This may also support the authenticity of the Hadeeth.
