ahmad:22144Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik > Abū ʿAwānah > Ḥuṣayn > Sālim > Abū Umāmah Ḥaddath

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said: Whoever says:

al-ḥamdu lillāhi ʿadada mā khalaqa, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi milʾa mā khalaqa, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi ʿadada mā fī al-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi milʾa mā fī al-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi ʿadada mā aḥṣā kitābuhu, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi milʾa mā aḥṣā kitābuhu, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi ʿadada kulli shayʾ, wal-ḥamdu lillāhi milʾa kulli shayʾ

(All praise is due to Allah as much as the number of what ˹creations˺ He created, and all praise is due to Allah as much as what fills what He created. All praise is due to Allah as much as the number of what are in the heavens and the earth, and all praise is due to Allah as much as what fills the heavens and the earth. All praise is due to Allah as much as the number of what His Book has enumerated, and all praise is due to Allah as much as what fills that His Book has enumerated. All praise is due to Allah as much as the number of everything, and all praise is due to Allah as much as what fills everything.)

... and do the same ˹saying˺ subḥān Allah (glory be to Allah) then, that is the greatest.  

أحمد:٢٢١٤٤حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍعَنْ سَالِمٍ أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ حَدَّثَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ:

(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ)

وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِثْلَهَا فَأَعْظِمْ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is no servant who recites 'Alhamdulillah' (praise be to Allah) as many times as the number of His creations, and there is no servant who recites 'Alhamdulillah' filling what Allah has created, and there is no servant who recites 'Alhamdulillah' as many times as what is in the heavens and the earth, and there is no servant who recites 'Alhamdulillah' as many times as the number that His book enumerates, and there is no servant who recites 'Alhamdulillah' as many times as everything and glorified is Allah and similar to them."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came out while I was sitting moving my lips, so he said, "Why are you moving your lips?" I said, "I am remembering Allah, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Should I not tell you of something that, if you say it, and then continue to say it day and night, you will never fail to reach it?" I said, "Yes, please do." He said, "Say: 'Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)' as many times as the number of His creation, and as many times as the number of everything in His Book, and as many times as the number of everything in His creation, and as many times as the number of everything in His creation, and as many times as the number of everything in His creation, and as many times as the number of everything in His creation, and as many times as the number of everything in His creation. And glorify and magnify Him like that."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw me while I was moving my lips, so he said, "What are you saying, O Abu Umamah?" I said, "I am remembering Allah." He said, "Shall I not tell you of something that is more abundant in remembrance of Allah than you? You say: 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to the number of His creations, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling what He has created, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to what His Book has enumerated, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling what His Book has enumerated, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to everything, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling everything." Then he said, "Teach them to those who come after you."
