[Machine] I said, O Messenger of Allah, which speech is most beloved to Allah? He said, "That which He has chosen for His angels, which is, 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,' 'Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, glory be to Allah and praise be to Him,' and it is said three times."  

أحمد:٢١٥٢٩حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَسْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْكَلَامِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ؟ قَالَ مَا اصْطَفَاهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا تَقُولُهَا

“May my father and my mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Which speech is most beloved to Allah [the Mighty and Sublime]?” So he said: “That which Allah selected for His angels (to say): ‘Glory to my Lord, and with His praise. Glory to my Lord, and with His praise (Subḥāna rabbī wa biḥamdihi, subḥāna rabbī wa biḥamdihi).’”
