Abu Salih, the narrator from Abu Hurairah, when asked about how to recite them, said: 'Say: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar until each is thirty-three.'
أَبِي Abu
This is 'Abu' ('father of') in the genitive — its long 'i' marking the genitive, because it follows 'from'. It heads a possessive with the next name. (The five special nouns show their case by a long vowel like this.)
