قال أبو صالح الراوي عن أبي هريرة، لما سئل عن كيفية ذكرهن، قال يقول سبحان الله، والحمد لله، والله أكبر، حتى يكون منهن كلهن ثلاثًا وثلاثين
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.'
الرَّاوِي — the narrator. This is 'the narrator', an active participle ('the one who relates'), standing in apposition to Abu Salih — naming the same man by his role. It is nominative, matching the subject it renames.
