Misbaha.
According to a tradition recounted in the Sahih Muslim, the Prophet Muhammed instructed the faithful to say Subhan Allah (honour be to God), Alhamdu lillah (praise be to God) and Allahu Akbar (God is great) thirty-three times each during each of the five daily prayers.
Other traditions call for repeating each phrase ten times per prayer. A common way of keeping count is to count the joints plus the tip of each finger to reach a total of 33. It’s also common to use a misbaha, a sort of Muslim rosary.
This is a small misbaha on which each segment has 11 beads.
